Web Definition: Polaroid
Polaroid ® is the name of a type of synthetic plastic sheet which is used to polarise light. The original material, patented in 1929 & further developed in 1932 by Edwin H Land, consists of many microscopic crystals of iodo quinine sulphate embedded in a transparent nitrocellulose polymer film. The needle-like crystals are aligned during manufacture of the film by stretching or by applying electric or magnetic fields. With the crystals aligned, the sheet tends to absorb light which is polarised parallel to the direction of the crystal alignment, but transmits light which is polarised perpendicularly to it. This allows the material to be used as a light polariser. This material, known as J-sheet, was later replaced by the improved H-sheet Polaroid, invented in 1938 by Land. H-sheet is a polyvinyl alcohol polymer impregnated with iodine. During manufacture, the PVA polymer chains are stretched such that they form an array of aligned, linear molecules in the material. The iodine dopant attaches to the PVA molecules & makes them conducting along the length of the chains.
