Structures incorporating polymer-inorganic particle blends

聚合物-无机粒子掺合物掺入结构，一般包含与另外材料的界面，它可有利地用于形成所要的装置。在某些具体方案中，结构是光学结构及界面是光学界面。在界面不同材料可以有不同的折射率以在界面产生所要的光学性质。在某些具体方案中，结构以折射率的周期变化面形成。尤其是所形成光学晶件，合适的方法可用于形成所要的结构。 Polymer-inorganic particle blends are incorporated into structures generally involving interfaces with additional materials that can be used advantageously for forming desirable devices. In some embodiments, the structures are optical structures, and the interfaces are optical interfaces. The different materials at the interface can have differences in index-of-refraction to yield desired optical properties at the interface. In some embodiments, structures are formed with periodic variations in index-of-refraction. In particular, photonic crystals can be formed. Suitable methods can be used to form the desired structures.
