Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201305607-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Polymers for IR imaging:</bold> The preparation of high refractive index polymers (<italic>n</italic> = 1.75 to 1.86) via the inverse vulcanization of elemental sulfur is reported. High quality imaging in the near (1.5 μm) and mid‐IR (3–5 μm) regions using high refractive index polymeric lenses from these sulfur materials was demonstrated. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2swwcn8" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
