Abstract

Organic polymer based materials are becoming the workhorse in the area of photonics and optoelectronics. These materials are rapidly replacing their inorganic counter parts due to their flexibility in manufacturing combined with the ease in fabrication and manufacturing. Polystyrene, being a low cost commercial commodity plastic material has been utilized as one of the important polymeric material for various NLO active devices. Guest-Host systems based on polystyrene and NLO active chromophores have been extensively studied. As a host polymer it can easily accommodate the NLO guest molecules by simple modification by solution casting and other processes. Thus, polystyrene based NLO active systems offers a relatively cost-effective NLO active systems.

Recent investigations have confirmed the suitability of disposable recycled polystyrene as a host polymer to accommodate NLO active chromophores that can lead to dirt-cheap NLO active device materials.

This review summarizes the applications of polystyrene based materials in the area of Optoelectronics. The fundamental aspects pertaining to Guest-Host NLO chromophore is also discussed. Some of the recent investigation about the usage of recycled polystyrene system is highlighted.
