Abstract

Sol-gel derived optical composites have been prepared by both the in-situ polymerisation and ORMOSIL methods andcharacterised by FT-Raman and near infrared (NIR) spectroscopies regardingtheir chemical structures, optical properties and molecular interactions. Amodel based on intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bondings has beenproposed to interpret the observed spectral results.
