Fabrication of PMMA doped with griseofulvin material and its optical rotatory dispersion

Abstract

Chiral molecule C₁₇H₁₇CIO₆ was incorporated in MMA by sol-gel process and its optical polarization response was measured. The optical rotatory dispersion was measured with self-manufactured apparatus. The results show that the maximum and minimum rotation angles of the chiral PMMA are 69° at the wavelength of 450 nm and 17° at the wavelength of 700 nm, respectively. The experimental results accord with the simulation results by the Boltzmann formula.
