Abstract

The polarization characteristics of poly(vinyl alcohol)-iodine complex, (PVA-KI system) prepared by the oxidation process of PVA film containing a potassium iodide (KI) were investigated. The UV-visible spectrum of the PVA-KI system polarizing film showed avsorption bands corresponding to $I^{-}$, $I{_3}{^-}$ and $I{_5}{^-}$ chromophoric species at 220 nm, 290~360 nm, respectively. The polarization efficiency and transmittance of PVA-KI system film were significantly influenced by oxidation time, stretching ratio and concentration of KI. The prepared polarizing film exhibited a high polarization efficiency(99.5%) and transmittance(45%). Especially, the heat resistance of the polarizing film was higher than that of a commercial PVA-$I_2$ polarizing film. It may be argued that the result should come from a difference in oxidation process of PVA polarizing film.

Potassium iodide(KI)를 함유하는 poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) 필름의 산화공정에 의해 제조된 PVA-iodine 착제물(PVA_KI계)의 편광특성을 조사하였다. PVA-KI계 편광필름의 UV-visible 스펙트럼은 220 nm, 290~360 nm와 650 nm에서 $I^{-}$, $I{_3}{^-}$$I{_5}{^-}$ 발색단에 해당하는 흡수밴드를 각각 나타냈다. PVA-KI계 필름의 편광효율과 투과도는 산화시간, 연신비율, KI 농도 등에 크게 의존하였다. 제조된 편광필름은 99.5%와 45%의 높은 편광효율 및 투과도를 나타냈다. 특히 산화공정에 의해 제조된 편광필름의 열저항은 기존의 PVA-$I_2$계 편광필름에 비하여 뛰어났다. 이러한 결과는 PVA 편광필름의 산화공정의 차이에 기인된다고 생각된다.
