Study of the nanostructuration capacity of some azopolymers with rigid or fle…

Azobenzene polymers have been the subject of intensive research due to their unique and unexpected properties that allow various applications triggered by light. One of their attractive features is the possibility of changing the orientation of azobenzene chain through trans-cis-trans photoisomerization cycles to photoinduce birefringerence and linear dichroism in thin polymer films. The photoc…
