“…The degradation of both PHB and PHB/Norbixin membranes occurs almost entirely in a single stage, between 243 and 272°C. This result is in accordance with the results found in the literature for polyhydroxybutyrate 27 . In this region, PHB has a degradation rate of 99.1%; the 5% PHB/Norbixin membrane, 96.9%; and the PHB/ Norbixin 10%, has a 96.3% loss of mass.…”

“…The peak at 1611 cm -1 , and the peaks in the region between 1000-886 cm -1 are attributed to the double bonds. The methyl groups present in the norbixin chain are represented by the peaks at 1422 and 1364 cm -1 25 - 27 .…”

Today, a lot of attention is paid to remote controlled opto-electronic devices. Many of them are commonly used in the society, industry, and science. Accessories dedicated to the particular utilization are desired. The point is to find a simple way to obtain smart and functional appliances. Materials engineering faces such problems and provides a variety of solutions concerning advanced material design, preparation, and utilization. Photochromic materials represent one of the already known materials, which still find other objectives in new fields of life. In our work, we present two differently constructed photoresponsive polymers, which give significantly different nonlinear optical (NLO) response visible as noticeable optical signal modulation. By playing with diversified laser light energy or its frequency, NLO output characterized appealing, and individual characteristics (doubled Δ n ∼0.02 vs 0.04 and entirely different kinetics for two similar materials and the same laser pumping). Interestingly, high output signal repeatability and stability were achieved, which indicate the investigated materials as promising candidates in the construction of various opto-electronic devices. Additionally, a set of photoresponsive studies, reflectometry, and theoretical insights was performed and included in this work.

“…Another material used as the host for NLO substances is silica matrix, which has important advantages: the facility and flexibility of syntheses as well as the possibility of processing them as thin films. Ji et al [64,65] report the successful embedding of Disperse Red 1 as chromophore in a silica glass prepared by using sol-gel synthesis. The silicate precursor was a new derivative 1,4 phenylene bis(4-trimethoxysilyl ethyl benzoate), with a structure that allows uniform dispersion and accommodates the chromophore molecules in the cross-linked polymeric matrix (see Figure 8).…”

Organic compounds based on ferrocene, pyrazolone, and octahydroacridine exhibit high interest due to their unusual structure, with potential practical applications due to their special optical properties. Nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of some new synthesized derivatives are evaluated in relationship with the chemical structure by using DFT molecular modeling. In condensed state, ferrocene and other organic molecules were found in a staggered arrangement (D5d) as a nonpolar molecule, but the eclipsed (D5h) and twisted (D5) forms exhibit SHG capabilities. The molecular polarizability (α), first-order hyperpolarizabilities (β tot), dipole (μ tot), and quadrupole (Q) moments were computed. The NLO efficiency was assessed by the relationship between high (β tot)a n dl o wH O M O-L U M O energy gap. The nonlinear optical properties of some new synthesized compounds were evaluated in thin films with nanometric morphology obtained using various methods: Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) thin films, sol-gel deposition, and layer-by-layer deposition.
