Polycyclohexyl methacrylate

Long chain alcohol esters have lower softening temperature and lower shrinkage on moulding. Polycyclohexyl methacrylate has refractor index similar to crown glass. The esters are prepared by alcoholysis of methyl ester. 

PS is miscible with several polymers, viz. polyphenyleneether (PPE), polyvinylmethylether (PVME), poly-2-chlorostyrene (PCS), polymethylstyrene (PMS), polycarbonate of tetramethyl bisphenol-A (TMPC), co-polycarbonate of bisphenol-A and tetramethyl bisphenol-A, polycyclohexyl acrylate (PCHA), polyethylmethacrylate (PEMA), poly-n-propyl methacrylate (PPMA), polycyclohexyl methacrylate (PCHMA), copolymers of cyclohexyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate, bromobenzylated- or sulfonated-PPE, etc. Other miscible blends are listed in Appendix 2. 

Description of the excimer photophysics for a two-phase system presented by Wandelt and co-workers [66] are based on both the two-phase model assumptions and the experimental results. The two-phase model describes the results of the experimental studies of photoenergy migration in heterogeneous solid-state polymer blends by Frank and collaborators [68, 69]. Tao and Frank [69] used three-dimensional electronic excitation transport to interpret the ratio of excimer to monomer fluorescence for poly-2-vinylnaphthalene with polycyclohexyl methacrylate. The assumptions of the two-phase model are ...
