In this review, we highlight the progress realized in recent years on light-responsive
polymers. More precisely, we provide some guidelines towards the rational design of photo …

The possibility of wavelength-selective cleavage of seven photolabile caging groups from
different families has been studied. Amine-, thiol-, and carboxylic-terminated organosilanes …

Herein we demonstrate how the photoreaction between anthracenes and singlet oxygen
(1O2) is employed for applications either as photoswitch or as photoresist. Thin films of the …

Among all photosensitive monomers reported in the literature, o-nitrobenzyl acrylate (NBA)
was selected in this present study. Two strategies were compared to produce azido …

Photoreactive surfaces derived from a new photocleavable surface modification agent and
with photosensitivity in the Vis and IR region are described. A ruthenium (II) caged …

Nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization (NMRP) was used for the synthesis of the random
copolymer poly [styrene-r-(4-propargyloxystyrene)] with a narrow molecular weight …

We demonstrate the possibility of tuning the degree of functionalization of a surface using
photoactivatable chemistries and controlled light exposure. A photosensitive organosilane …

The electroreduction of aryl diazonium salts is a powerful technique for functionalizing many
surfaces. To widen the use of aryl diazonium salts in many more applications, new strategies …

This contribution reports on the synthesis of light-responsive diblock copolymers containing
para-methoxyphenacyl photocleavable side groups. The synthetic strategy consists in the …

A series of terpolymers were synthesized comprising the following monomers: N-
isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm), a stimuli-responsive structural unit that swells and collapses …
