Provided are compositions suitable for use in forming a flexible optical waveguide. The compositions include a polymer, having units of the formula (RSiO1.5), wherein R is a substituted or unsubstituted organic group, and a plurality of functional end groups. A first component is provided for altering the solubility of the composition in a dried state upon activation. A second component contains a plurality of functional groups chosen from hydroxy, amino, thiol, sulphonate ester, carboxylate ester, silyl ester, anhydride, aziridine, methylolmethyl, silyl ether, and combinations thereof. The second component is present in an effective amount to improve flexibility of the composition in a dried state before and after activation. Also provided are flexible optical waveguides, methods of forming flexible optical waveguides and electronic devices that include a flexible optical waveguide.
本文提供了适用于形成柔性光波导的组合物。这些组合物包括一种聚合物,具有式(RSiO1.5)的单元,其中 R 是取代或未取代的有机基团,以及多个官能团。第一种成分用于在活化时改变组合物在干燥状态下的溶解度。第二种成分含有多个官能团,这些官能团选自羟基、氨基、硫醇、磺酸酯、羧酸酯、硅酯、酸酐、氮丙啶、甲醇甲基、硅烷基醚及其组合。第二种成分的有效含量可提高组合物在活化前后干燥状态下的柔韧性。此外,还提供了柔性光波导、形成柔性光波导的方法以及包括柔性光波导的电子设备。
