When the precursor Zn^2+ concentrations were not more than I wt%, the size of the introduced ZnS nanoparticles was smaller than 50 nm and the distribution was homo-geneous within the composites. Under the condition, outstanding transmittance more than 70g in the visible light was obtained. By incorporation of ZnS nanoparticles with excellent thermo-optic stability to the composites, the thermo-optic coefficient was obviously increased from -361 × 10^-6 to -310 × 10^-6K^-1. The good flexibility, optical and mechanical properties endow the nanocomposites potential applica- tions in the flexible optoelectronic materials.展开更多
