23. The time to gelation was defined, somewhat arbitrarily, as the point after which the viscosity had increased to an extent that it was prohibitively difficult to transfer the polymerizing liquid mixture from the mixing vial to the glass substrate.

26. The optical quality of the films was gauged both by the optical losses observed in the Vis-NIR absorption spectra, specifically in the 1300-1550 nm regime, as well as the amount of distortion observed on a laser beam (operating in the same spectral region) after passing through the film. This provided some measure of both the optical scattering losses associated with crystallinity of the films as well as their overall morphology.
