New photoactive polymers azobenzene elastomers

Azobenzene-containing elastomers have been synthesized for the first time. By free radical polymerization of methacrylate or acrylate-based monomers bearing an azobenzene moiety in solution with dissolved styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) triblock copolymer, azobenzene side-chain liquid crystalline po...
