The influences of the average degree of polymerization ( D p ) , which is derived from M n  and terminal end group, on optical and thermal properties of various refractive indexed transparent polymers were investigated. In this study, we selected the alicyclic compound, Dinorbornane dimethanol (DNDM) homo polymer, because it has been used as a representative monomer in low refractive index polymers for its unique properties. DNDM monomer has a stable amorphous phase and reacts like a polymer. Its unique reaction allows continuous investigation from monomer to polymer. For hydroxy end group and phenolic end group polymers, the refractive index ( n d  ) decreased with increasing D p  , and both converged to same value in the high D p  region. However, the Abbe number ( ν d  ) of a hydroxy end group polymer is not dependent on D p  , and the ν d  of a phenolic end group polymer is greatly dependent on D p  . As for glass transition temperatures ( T g  ), both end group series were increased as D p  increased, and both converged to the same value.
