Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and Iodine hybrid matrixes have been prepared and characterized. The optical properties of the prepared I-PMMA hybrid composites were characterized by linear absorption studies and these composites have been found to contain embedded Iodine nanoparticles. The size of the nanoparticles was found to be a function of the Iodine content of PMMA. Refractive index measurements were undertaken for different wavelengths. The results showed that the refractive index of the composite is dependent on thermal annealing and also varies nonlinearly with the doping concentration at low Iodine concentration or in the region of nanoparticles formation.
