Photoactive Azobenzene Polymers Containing Carbazole Chromophores

Abstract: Polymeric systems containing side-chain photoactive chromophores were prepared by free-radical copolymerization of N-vinylcarbazole with 4-methacryloyloxyazobenzene and 4-methacryloyloxy-4'-cyanoazobenzene. The resulting materials were characterized by size exclusion chromatography, TGA and DSC thermal analysis, FT-IR, H-1 NMR, UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy and photoisomerization experiments. In all cases, the copolymer composition was almost independent of the feed composition, in agreement with the s… Show more

“…The simultaneous presence of these functions, sensitive to electromagnetic stimuli, creates the premises to display both the typical properties of asymmetric systems (optical activity, exciton division of dichroic absorption) and the typical characteristics of photochromic materials (photo refractivity, photo reactivity, N properties). In this context, it seemed interesting to investigate the properties of new multifunctional copolymer materials containing both photo responsive azobenzene and the photoconductive carbazole chromophore directly bound to the polymeric side chain through the chiral fragment: the presence of the electron-rich carbazole sequence as partner of the electron-poor azobenzene chromophores can induce charge transfer interactions fundamental in the operation of photoconductive materials [154].…”

“…[22,[31][32][33] In particular, poly[(S)-(À)-MECP] exhibits a higher T g value than poly[(S)-(þ)-MECSI], indicative of a remarkable presence of strong inter-and/or intramolecular dipolar interactions in the solid state between side-chain aromatic , resulted also very high, with onset decomposition temperature (T d ) of 330 and 349 8C, respectively, much higher than those reported for PVK (227 8C), [34] deeply investigated as polymeric material for photorefractive applications, [1] and for other methacrylic carbazolecontaining polymers. [31,35] Again, the higher T d value for poly[(S)-(À)-MECP] can be attributed to increased interand/or intramolecular polar interactions between the neighboring side-chain moieties.…”

“…However, one could imagine enhancing thermal, light and chemical stabilities of dyes if they are incorporated in a polymeric structure as pendant groups. Recently, incorporation of a dye moiety into a polymer structure has been a subject of interest to many research groups and for various purposes such as synthesis of photoactive polymers [3], non covalent interactions between dye molecules and polymers in optical storage field [4], as well as improvement of color fastness of polymers [5], etc.…”
