Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Polymeric intelligent materials are a class of polymers that possess structural, optical, electrical and thermal responsive properties, among others, making them suitable for diverse applications. In recent years, polymeric intelligent materials have attracted significant attention and undergone extensive development. This Special Issue covers all aspects of polymeric intelligent materials, including, but not limited to, the fields of optoelectronics, energy, sensors, catalysis and biomedicine. Fundamental theoretical simulations of intelligent polymers and their structure–property investigations are also discussed in this Special Issue.

We believe that this topic is useful for the academic community, since the development of polymeric intelligent materials is believed to be significant for the advancement of human society. Thus, we kindly invite you to contribute to this Special Issue in the form of communications, full research papers and review articles, and we look forward to your submissions.

Abstract
We propose the holographic reciprocity effect (HRE) to describe the relationship between the exposure duration (ED) and the growth rate of diffraction efficiency (GRoDE) in volume holographic storage. The HRE process is investigated experimentally and theoretically in order to avoid the diffraction attenuation. [...] Read more.
We propose the holographic reciprocity effect (HRE) to describe the relationship between the exposure duration (ED) and the growth rate of diffraction efficiency (GRoDE) in volume holographic storage. The HRE process is investigated experimentally and theoretically in order to avoid the diffraction attenuation. Herein, introducing the medium absorption, we present a comprehensive probabilistic model to describe the HRE. PQ/PMMA polymers are fabricated and investigated to reveal the influence of HRE on the diffraction characteristics through two recording approaches: pulsed exposure with nanosecond (ns) level and continuous wave (CW) exposure at the millisecond (ms) level. We obtain the holographic reciprocity matching (HRM) range of ED in PQ/PMMA polymers with 10−6~102 s level and improve the response time to microsecond (μs) order with no diffraction deficiency. This work can promote the application of volume holographic storage in high-speed transient information accessing technology. Full article
