Download or read book Development of Photoresponsive Polymers and Polymer inorganic Composite Materials Based on the Coumarin Chromophore written by Weizheng Fan and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stimuli responsive polymers show noticeable changes in their properties in response to environmental stimuli and are used in many applications. Various stimuli such as pH, temperature, and in our case, light have been used to bring about the desired effect. Due to their tunable photoresponsive properties, coumarin and its derivatives have been widely used in many functional polymeric materials. The first part of the thesis was focused on the development of visible light responsive coumarin chromophores. These new coumarin derivatives have the maximum UV absorption between 390-420nm, which could enable their utility in biomedical chemistry in future. The second part of this thesis was focused on the development of a class of low moduli photoresponsive polymers, based on the coumarin photoactive unit. These new photoresponsive materials can crosslink under 350nm irradiation. The new polymers have low moduli and show viscous properties before irradiation. Upon crosslinking they display a significant change in physical and mechanical properties. In order to extend the applications of these materials, we prepared a series of photoresponsive polymer/inorganic composite materials with silica. We believe, these polymers have the potential for various biomedical applications such as in filling voids in dental and osteological applications.

Book excerpt: Smart materials have been produced by conceiving of the idea of materials/systems having a fourth dimension. To match advances in instrumentation, efforts are being made to develop materials, resulting in smart materials with enhanced performance. In nature, the action of stimuli-responsive materials is reversible; this idea has attracted interest for its potential research and industrial applications. The challenge remains how to couple these applications with environmental consciousness. This book presents the basics of smart polymers and describes their current and future applications. This book is different from other books on the subject in that it explores polymer materials’ smart behavior in more depth, covering vibration damping, thermal and electrochemical energy, sensing at trace level, biotechnology, and so on. The 14 chapters in this book cover diverse areas, including: • Photoresponsive polymers that can be manipulated using a specific frequency of light • Designing polymers for vibration damping • Smart manipulations of hydrophobic and super-hydrophobic polymers • Biopolymers, including hydrogels for smart application, drug delivery, and other uses • Smart paints • Self-healing and shape memory polymers • Holography for data storage • Phase change polymers and solid polymer electrolytes for thermal and electrochemical energy • Molecular imprinting polymers for sub-ppm sensing and removal of unwanted materials • Smart textiles, and the concept of advanced textiles This book will be of particular interest to researchers, postgraduates, and industry experts. It offers an extensive introduction to the basics of smart polymers and their possible applications.
