    Notes: Copolymers of the photochromic monomer 4-methacryloxyethylenoxyazobenzene with the optically active comonomer (-)-menthyl methacrylate, having different stereoregularity, were investigated in order to obtain a better understanding of the relationship between microstructure and photochromism in synthetic macromolecules. No appreciable effect was observed by copolymer composition, sequence distribution, and microtacticity on the photoinduced trans → cis isomerization of the azobenzene side chains. This last, however, is reflected in changes of the chiroptical properties, type and entity of the photoinduced variation being dependent on chain structure. The long spacer separating the azo chromophore from the main chain limits the extent of chiroptical properties dependence on irradiation.

    Notes: An ethylene - propylene (EPR) copolymer functionalized with (1,2-dicarboethoxy)ethyl groups has been blended with a vinylidene fluoride - hexafluropropene elastomer (NML). The existence of intermolecular interactions involving mainly the carbonyl groups of the side chains of the functionalized copolymer and the methylene hydrogens of the fluoroelastomer through hydrogen bonding was shown by means of FT - IR spectroscopy. The structure and composition of some microdomains in the mixture was examined by means of FT - IR microspectroscopy.

    Notes: The synthesis is reported of a new photochromic monomer, trans-4-(2-methacryloxyethyloxy) azobenzene (MEAB), where the azobenzene chromophore is separated from the ester group by an ethylenoxy spacer arm. Comparative experiments show that trans-4-methacryloxyazobenzene (MAB), having the azobenzene group directly attached to the ester functionality, does not homopolymerize or copolymerize with (-)-menthyl methacrylate (MnMA) in the presence of different anionic initiators, whereas isotactic homopolymers and copolymers of MEAB can be obtained: the microstructure is described with reference to analogous atactic macromolecules.

    Notes: Spirobenzopyran units were bound to the side chains of poly (L-glutamic acid) and partially methylated poly(L-glutamate)s. The modified polymers were found to exhibit “reverse photochromism” in hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFP), so the samples kept in the dark were characterized by an intense absorption band in the visible range of the spectrum, which was completely erased upon exposure to sunlight or irradiation at 500-550 nm.The CD spectra showed that the macromolecules adopted a random coil conformation in the dark, whereas the bleached solutions after exposure to light displayed the typical CD pattern of the α-helix. The back reaction in the dark was accompanied by the progressive decrease of the helix content and recovery of the original disordered conformation. The photoinduced conformational changes resulted in large and reversible viscosity variations.When spiropyran side chains were converted to “spiropyran salts” of trifluoroacetic acid, the system was still photochromic, but the macromolecules were disordered both in the dark and light conditions. However, when appropriate amounts of methanol were added as a cosolvent to the HFP solutions, the system responded to light, giving reversible variations of the α-helix content. Irradiation at appropriate solvent compositions allowed modulation of the extent of the photoresponse. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
