Abstract:By incorporating a photoactive moiety into a block polymer,
the
phase behavior can be controlled with light. Previous studies have
looked at situating azobenzene, a common photoresponsive molecule,
along the backbone of the polymer as a pendant group, and even as
part of the solvent rather than as a comonomer. Here, we study the
effect of the positioning of pendant azobenzene groups along the polymer
backbone on the lower critical disorder–order transition of
poly(methyl methacrylate)-block-poly(benzyl methacr… Show more
