Poly (2, 3, 4, 5, 6-pentafluorostyrene-co-glycidyl methacrylate) (PFS-co-GMA), CAS number 224962-38-3, is a copolymer with the backbone of fluoroine rich pentafluorostyrene (PFS) and photocrosslinkable glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) units. The combination of pentafluorostyrene and glycidyl methacrylate in the copolymer structure can provide good image retention after development of the cross-linked network.
With good thermal stability and low loss, poly(pentafluorostyrene-co-glycidyl methacrylate) copolymers have been a promising candidate for the application of optical waveguides. Optical waveguide devices fabricated from PFS-co-GMA as the core and cladding layer material have exhibited optical loss as low as 0.39 dB/cm and 0.42 dB/cm at 1320 and 1550 nm. Optical losses were observed to increase to 0.75 dB/cm at 1550 nm after annealing at 200 °C for 1 h under nitrogen atmosphere.
