Abstract:Photochromic
materials that reversibly change color by light stimulus
are of interest for developing sensors and optoelectronics. A design
of Ag+-containing photochromic polymer hydrogel showing
reversible photochromism, high stretchability, and high adhesiveness
is reported. The polymer hydrogel is fabricated using the Ag+/ammonium persulfate (APS) fast gelation system, which initiates
the fast gelation of the acrylic acid (AA) and 3-iminodiacetate-2-hydroxypropyl
methacrylate (IDHPMA) aqueous solution. The i… Show more
