A method for producing optical rod-shaped graded-index polymer preform by making the composition of the preform near the core differ from the composition of the shell of the preform by polymerization with rotation of a mixture containing the starting substances, whereby a mixture comprising various monomers is rotated and that after achieving a distribution of the monomers, the polymerization is carried out with rotation of the mixture, or that a monomer and thermoplastic polymer-containing mixture, whereby said monomer is different from the monomer from which said polymer has been prepared, is rotated and that, after achieving a distribution of said monomer and polymer, the monomer present in said mixture is subsequently polymerized with rotation, in which both cases the rotation is carried out with a diameter dependent rotation velocity, represented by the following general equation: rpm>10,000 d.sup.-0.5 wherein: rpm=rotation velocity, revolutions per minute d=diameter of the preform (cm). The invention furthermore relates to optical lenses and fibres formed of the polymer preform thus produced.

The present invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a holographic film. The method includes a polymerizable composition that comprises monomers with high reactivity, monomers with low reactivity and a non-reactive material. The method comprises a patterned exposure to obtain a patterned polymerization of the monomers with high reactivity and a subsequent polymerization to polymerize also monomers with low reactivity to form a solid film. The method gives a holographic film with a high refractive index modulation and a modulated porosity.

摘要:
This invention relates to flexible structures (401) that respond to the application of an agent. Upon application of the agent, the flexible structure bends (402) in a predetermined fashion. The flexible structure is formed from a polymer liquid crystal that is orientated to define an upper surface layer and a lower surface layer having an essentially different molecule orientation, and the polymer liquid crystal is such that a length/width ration is changed upon application of the agent. Thereby, the upper and lower surface layers respond differently to the application of the agent, resulting in bending or un-bending of the flexible structure (401).
