Smart polymers based on photoresponsive azobenzene moieties have been extensively
explored as potential materials for high capacity optical storage. This chapter reviews …

Self-assembly behavior of amphiphilic random co-poly (ionic liquid) s in aqueous solution
was investigated in this work. An imidazolium-type homopolymer, poly (1-(4-vinylbenzyl)-3 …

The self-assembly behavior and photo-responsive properties of novel azobenzene based
copolymers poly (ethylene oxide) monomethyl ether-block-polystyrene-block-{poly [6-(4 …

A new azo polymer containing photoisomerizable azo pyridine functionalities was
synthesized via Mitsunobu reaction of 4-(4-hydroxyphenylazo) pyridine with poly (2 …

A new set of amphiphilic random copolymers has been constructed directly by hydrophilic,
hydrophobic, and functional spiropyran monomers in one-pot ROMP. The resulting …

The structure of a solution of poly (methyl methacrylate)-block-poly (benzyl methacrylate-stat-
(4-phenylazophenyl methacrylate)) in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis …

A series of triblock copolymers with liquid crystalline (LC) poly {6-[4-(4-methoxyphenylazo)
phenoxy] hexyl methacrylate}(PMMAZO) as the end blocks and rubbery poly (n-butyl …

In this work, we synthesized two kinds of polyurethanes with azobenzene as hard segments
in the side chains and in the main chains. Their thermal stabilities were high enough for their …

Functional poly (phenylacetylene) s (PPAs) bearing different azobenzene pendants were
synthesized in desirable yields and molecular weight by using organorhodium complexes …

Reversible photocontrol over the ordering transition of block copolymers (BCPs) from a
disordered state to an ordered state, namely the disorder-to-order transition (DOT), can be …
