“…Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are then precipitated to form a suspension, which is influenced by the presence of bonding of the dispersing agent. Size of the nanoparticles can be controlled by selecting the ratio of titanium precursor to the dispersing agent [115].…”

Abstract:Metal containing polymers are of great interest as they have proven to be the most promising materials for applications such as microelectronics, holography and magnetic recording of information. Metal containing polymers also provide an alternative to even the specialty glass materials conventionally used for optical applications. Metals such as barium, lead and lanthanum have been used to improve the optical properties such as refractive index and mechanical properties such as hardness of optical plastics. The metal-containing optical plastic materials with improved refractive index of as much as 1.60 along with the Abbe number of more than 30 have been successfully designed using these metals by the authors of this paper. To further increase the refractive index without any drop in Abbe number and to improve the hardness of the polymer matrix, titanium would be the most promising metal. Incorporation of titanium in plastic matrices to form homogeneous and optically clear compositions is a challenging task. This paper reviews the state-ofthe-art by which titanium can be dispersed in polymer matrices to form metal containing composites as optical plastics.

“…The dispersion of the inorganic particles in the polymer matrix has thus become a critical issue. In fact, agglomeration of inorganic particles can significantly reduce the transparency of the light-extraction layer so that it is no longer suitable for improving light extraction from an OLED [16,17]. Therefore, in order to improve the lightextraction efficiency of OLEDs, ILELs and ELELs with low roughness, high transmittance, and the respective high and low refractive characteristics are required to reduce the difference between refractive indices at the substrate/ITO and air/glass interfaces [11e13].…”
