Synthesis, polymerization ability, nonlinear optical properties of methacrylic monomers and polymers with benzylidene moiety

Abstract

New methacrylic monomers, their polymers with benzylidene fragment were synthesized. Structures of all compounds were determined by HNMR, UV- spectroscopies. The third order nonlinear optical properties of oxazolone, thiazolidinone and thiohydantoin containing compounds were investigated in solutions using degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) method at 532 nm.
