It is based on supramolecular polymeric materials whose behaviour resembles that of those known as vitrimers. These were synthesized by reaction between diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and different n-alkylamines. The photonic characteristics of thin films made from these polymeric systems using the spin coating technique on commercial glass substrates are presented. The reflectivity curves of coupled laser light in the films through a high refractive index prism are also shown and analysed. From these results, thin films show guided modes in both polarizations (TE-TM) for electromagnetic radiation in the UV-visible range. Likewise, from the experimental data, the refractive index and thickness of the explored films are determined.publishersversionpublishe
