DOI: 10.1002/pi.5380
Abstract: Contact lenses containing high-performance wire grid polarizers (WGPs) were fabricated. The base polymeric membrane was synthesized by copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 3-[tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl]propyl methacrylate, 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone, methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The nanopattern was formed by… read more here.
