I can't give you specifics but I've looked at the opposite side of this
equation (low dn/dT) and can tell you that what YOU want is to have the
temperature range of interest be above the Tg of your material.
Secondly you'll want something with a high CTE. You'll have the
greatest dn/dT when you've got a significant volumetric change over your
temperature range of interest.
Good luck,
Matt

Subject: [mems-talk] Transparent POlymer or adhesive for quartz
Dear All,
I'm looking for a Transparent Polymer/Adhesive with very large dn/dT,
that can be spin coated over quartz. i have tried popular Norland
Optical adhesive, but its dn/dT is not as large as i want. The
polymer/adhesive we will use at both visible and IR region. The
dispersion curve (variation of R.I with Wavelength) , dn/dT and low
absorption at the wavelength of operation is important for my
applications.
Any information and the source form where we can get it will be highly
appreciated.
