Refractive index evolution of various commercial acrylic resins during photopolymerization

A set of commercial (meth)acrylic resins was photopolymerized under identical irradiation conditions and evolution of their refractive index was monitored as a function of double bond conversion. Initial refractive index values ranged from 1.4445 to 1.5454 and then linearly increased with conversion...

description A set of commercial (meth)acrylic resins was photopolymerized under identical irradiation conditions and evolution of their refractive index was monitored as a function of double bond conversion. Initial refractive index values ranged from 1.4445 to 1.5454 and then linearly increased with conversion as long as the material was not in the glassy state. This increase was related to an increase of the material density arising during polymerization. Final refractive index values ranged from 1.4804 to 1.5632. The knowledge of the refractive index and of its evolution during the photocuring is indispensable, in particularly to elaborate composite materials (polymer matrix + filler) with well controlled optical properties.
