Abstract

... The polymerization rate of 25BTFMS is much slower than that of 35BTFMS due to the steric effect ... properties and are difficult to prepare thin fibers due to the rigid polymer structure. ... The very close refractive indices of the different polymeric units could minimize the light scattering ...
