Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) films and particularly hollow capsules composed of PEM
shells have gained significant interest since their introduction. Their compositional versatility …

Photoanisotropic materials, in particular azodyes and azopolymers, have attracted
significant research interest in the last decades. This is due to their applications in …

In this paper we report on photoswitchable polymer surfaces with dynamically and reversibly
fluctuating topographies. It is well known that when azobenzene containing polymer films …

In this paper two groups supporting different views on the mechanism of light induced
polymer deformation argue about the respective underlying theoretical conceptions, in order …

Polarization-selective diffractive in-line and off-axis lenses are recorded in azopolymer thin
films using polarization holography. A simple, yet efficient, and to the best of our knowledge …

Thin free standing films have been obtained by casting from dimethylacetamide solutions of
some azo-copolyimides. The dynamo-mechanical and dielectric properties, and the effect of …

Electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions govern most of the properties of supramolecular
systems, which is the reason determining the degree of ionization of macromolecules has …

Azopolymers are highly efficient materials, able to register the polarization state of light.
They have broad range of applications from diffractive optical elements with unique …

Recently, a birefringence enhancement effect was observed in azopolymers doped with
various nanoparticles. The paper presents comparison between the parameters of …

Cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes were investigated for the application as charging
agents for the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and …
