Abstract

Photochromic polymers with various diarylethene derivatives were synthesized by a conventional radical polymerization of styrene derivatives having diarylethene chromophores as the pendant. All the polymers exhibited reversible photochromism in the film as well as in solution, while the photocyclization conversion in the film decreased in comparison with that in solution because of a restriction of the conformational structure in ...
