Abstract
The dual site silane coupling agent was synthesized by thiol-ene reaction. Zirconia nanoparticles could be dispersed effectively by using it. Surface bonded phtalic acid esters acted as a plasticizer to provide a good compatibility with photo-curable acrylates. High refractive index hybrid thin film indicated high transparency even though high nanoparticle contents. Therefore, hybrid thin films with photo-cured acrylates are possible to control their refractive index, and they will be expected to apply to optical materials.
