Abstract

3,4-Di-(2'-hydroxyethoxy)-4-nitrostilbene (2) was prepared by the reaction of 2-iodoethanol with 3,4-dihydroxy-4-nitrostilbene (1). Diol 2 was condensed with 2,4-toluenediisocyanate ,3,3-dimethoxy-4,4'-biphenylenediisocyanate , and 1,6-hexamethylenediisocyanate to yield polyurethanes 3, 4, and 5 containing the NLO-chromophore. Polymers 3-5 were soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone and DMSO. The glass transition temperatures(T$\sub$g/) of the resulting polymers 3-5 were obseved around 100-114$^{\circ}C$. Electrooptic coefficients (r$\sub$33/) of the poled polymer films were in the range of 18-25 pm/V at 633 nm. Polymers 3-5 began to decompose around 250$^{\circ}C$ in TGA thermograms.
