Organic-inorganic hybrid photopolymer with reduced volume shrinkage

Abstract

An organic-inorganic hybrid photopolymer containing surface-photoreactive nanoparticles, which exhibits a significant enhancement in optical properties is reported. The photopolymer containing surface-photoreactive nanoparticles showed high diffraction efficiency near 90% and reduced volume shrinkage without affecting the energetic sensitivity and optical quality of the photopolymer.
