Photocontrol in Complex Polymeric Materials: Fact or Illusion?
Valentin Victor JercaRichard HoogenboomPublished in: Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English) (2018)
Photoswitches: Exciting recent progress realized in the field of light-controlled polymeric materials is highlighted. It is discussed how the rational choice of azobenzene molecules and their incorporation into complex materials by making use of physical interactions can lead to genuine photocontrollable polymeric systems.
