Abstract :
In this paper we demonstrate an order-of-magnitude suppression of polymerization shrinkage of volume holograms recorded in nanoparticle-polymer composites by green light initiated thiol-ene photopolymerization, as compared to our previously reported nanoparticle-polymer composites with multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomers.
