Product information "Nano Imprint Lithography Resins"

Refractive Index 1.689-1.9; Viscosity 15, 138 mPas; Transmittance 94%-97%; UV Curing Conditions 100 mW/cm², 1, 5 min; Tg +100, +125 °C

Nano imprint lithography is the next generation process technology. This simple and low-cost fabrication technology enables nano-scale patterns. NTT-AT’s high refractive index, UV-curable nano imprint lithography resins provide highly functional fine patterns with high accuracy.

This series’ high refractive index (RI) helps to miniaturize optical components. Resin type #18210 features a refractive index of more than 1.7 and contains solvent, good for creating a thin film (<1 µm). Solvent-free resin type #18247 enables to produce thicker layers (>2 to 3 µm) and can create nano-size patterns without a pre-baking process to evaporate the solvent. This product maintains a high refractive index of 1.689 to 1.765, depending on the light’s wavelength, keeping a high transparency in the visible wavelength range by using non-organic fillers.

With the recent increase in the refractive index of glass for AR/VR, aimed at expanding the field of view, the demand for resins to match this higher RI is also increasing. Just recently, NTT-AT has developed new 1.8 and 1.9 refractive index resins with high transparency and good nanoimprintability, able to fabricate a uniform thin film by spin coating. These resins are expected to contribute to the improvement of the flexibility in optical design.

NTT-AT uses high-precision refractive index control technology in the manufacture of optical adhesives to increase the concentration of high-refractive-index inorganic nanofillers and achieve high refractive index while optimizing the resin formulation. These resins are compatible with high-refractive index glasses and can create nano-patterns with a line width of 50 nm to 10 µm by nanoimprinting. They feature high light transmission in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 800 nm.

NBA 107 Blocking Adhesive 10g syringe

Refractive Index 1.51; 350 cps Viscosity at 25°C NBA 107 (10g syringe) is a single component, UV curing adhesive used for temporary bonding of lenses to metal polishing mounts or where bonded components need to be easily separated in the future. The adhesive cures in minutes at room temperature by exposure to long wave UV light and eliminates the heat induced strain typical of the old fashioned hot pitch blocking methods. NBA 107 is specifically formulated to provide low shrinkage and low strain to further minimize any potential strain on the lens during the blocking process. Debonding is readily accomplished by heating in hot water with a small amount of detergent or wetting agent added or with acetone.The adhesive cures only by exposure to UV light in the range of 350 to 380 nanometers. Recommended light sources include mercury lamps, sun lamps, fluorescent black lights and xenon lamps. Norland Products sells a variety of light sources optimized for curing our adhesive. The adhesive needs 5 joules per centimeter squared of long wave Uv energy to fully cure. Cure time will depend on the amount of UV energy the light source used generates at the surface of the adhesive.
