In this report, a novel oligomer of poly(aromatic ether sulfone)(OAES) has been synthesized and characterized. The electronic structure as well as linear and nonlinear optical properties has been studied by density function theory. The effect for general nonlinear optical polarizability of various condition has been further researched such as absence of side chains and introduction of phenyl substituent on side chains. The static and frequency-dependent hyperpolarizabilities of OAES and its derivatives have been calculated. This work interprets an efficient adjustment for the frequency response and the intensity of nonlinear optical polarizability can be achieved by regulating the structure of system, which provides a new potential for the application of oligomeric materials on nonlinear optical field.展开更多

This polymer was found to undergo multiple melting processes and its phase transition behavior was influenced sensitively by the thermal history of sample. A significant difference between the polymer chain aggregation abilities of samples cooled from the different states was observed. The possible molecular morphology and aggregation models for describing the structures of this polymer were proposed and discussed. The crystallization behavior of the samples cooled from the partially isotropic state and the influence of cooling rate on it have also been examined with DSC.展开更多
