A novel method for preparing light focusing plastic rods by using the diffusing polymerization has been developed in this investigation. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) and diphenyl sulfide (DS) were used as reactive monomer and unreactive dopant, respectively. Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was used as the initiator. Effects of feed weight ratio of MMA/DS, initiator concentration, heating temperature (T), prepolymerization time (t) and the amounts of adding a rylic polymers on the optical characteristics of the light focusing plastic rods prepared in this investigation were all estimated. The image transmission of the light focusing plastic rods was also evaluated.
