| Abstract: | A series of thermally stable second‐order nonlinear optical polyarylates containing azo side‐chain groups have been obtained by interfacial polycondensation. Theoretical calculations of the static hyperpolarizabilities, first‐ and second‐order hyperpolarizability, were carried out. The structures of the obtained monomers and polymers were confirmed by infrared, 1H NMR and ultraviolet spectroscopies. Thermal and optical properties of the obtained polymers were evaluated. The investigations show that some of the new polymers obtained in this study may find use in optical applications. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 2195–2201, 2006 |
