Abstract:The fabrication of three-dimensional periodic microstructures with strong anisotropic geometries is important for nanophotonic devices including photonic crystals and hyperbolic metamaterials. In this study, a simple method using self-organizing colloidal inverse opals of PMMA with directional tensile deformation by stretching was successfully constructed in the temperature range 100°C-115°C. Reflection spectroscopy was used for investigating the photonic bandgap of the PMMA inverse opal with anisotropic geome… Show more
“…The tensile extent of PMMA can also be increased on increasing the temperature. However, heating the homopolymer beyond its T g can lead to degradation of the structural integrity and render the polymer incompetent for practical use . McLoughlin and Tobolsky have extensively studied the viscoelastic behavior of different forms of PMMA over a range of different temperatures .…”

The recent advancements
of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as
a transparent flexible polymer material have been utilized in numerous
areas of engineering and materials science. PMMA-based copolymers
demonstrate outstanding mechanical and optical properties owing to
high transparency, lightweight nature, high impact resistance, and
stress relaxation across glass transition temperature. These copolymers
have unique characteristics of retaining optical and microstructural
integrities during successive bending or elongations which make them
an attractive choice for materials of stretchable electronics. In particular, there has been
an escalated rise in the use of methyl methacrylate (MMA)-based transparent
and stretchable copolymer films during the recent decades. Therefore,
we have highlighted these recent developments into a comprehensive
review in order to aid the future progress in these diverse fields.
Herein, we have highlighted the scope of MMA as an important building
block for the synthesis of highly transparent and flexible materials.
The synthetic pathways of these copolymer materials and the resulting
mechanical properties have been discussed. Moreover, the immense scope
of these copolymer films has been highlighted by virtue of their applications
in various industries.
