Phone: 330-487-1526; Fax: 330-487-1527, Email: gfreeman@viztec.com Abstract New high-temperature (Tg>300 oC) optical polymers are under development by Ferrania S.p.A and Promerus, LLC. Substrates based on these materials demonstrate excellent chemical resistance, low O2 permeability and superb physical and optical properties. These properties offer the potential of meeting the requirements for roll-to-roll processing of flat panel displays.
