Recent years have witnessed tremendous progress and developments of the
photoswitchable spiropyran-based polymers, owing to distinctive and particular …

Spiropyrans are one of the most popular classes of photochromic compounds that change
their optical and structural properties in response to external inputs such as light, protons …

Switchable materials have tremendous potential for application in sensor development that
could be applied to many fields. We are focusing on emerging area of wireless sensor …

We report here for the first time on a reversible photodynamic bulk optode sensor based on
the photoswitching of a spiropyran derivative (Sp). The photoswitching of Sp induces a large …

Stimuli-responsive materials based on spiropyran, which show reversible solvatochromism
and photochromism under UV irradiation, could be used for advanced devices such as …

In the past few years, spiropyran has emerged as the molecule-of-choice for the construction
of novel dynamic materials. This unique molecular switch undergoes structural isomerisation …

Photochromic compounds of the spiropyran family have two main isomers capable of inter-
switching with UV or visible light. In the current review, we discuss recent advances in the …

Photoswitchable fluorescent polymers (PFPs) are emerging as a class of promising systems
for photowritable pattern, optical anti‐counterfeiting, and information encryption. They …

Spiropyran is an important mechanophore, which has rarely been incorporated as a cross-
linker in polar polymer matrices, limiting its applications in innovative mechanochromic …

Molecular confinement effects can profoundly alter the physicochemical properties of the
confined species. A plethora of organic molecules were encapsulated within the cavities of …
