A. Airinei et Ec. Buruiana, PHOTOISOMERIZATION OF AZO AROMATIC CHROMOPHORES IN POLYVINYL-CHLORIDE, Journal of macromolecular science. Pure and applied chemistry, A31(9), 1994, pp. 1233-1239
The synthesis and characterization of new vinyl chloride-p-acryloyloxy
azobenzene copolymers are reported. Kinetics of photoinduced trans-cis
and thermal cis-trans isomerization of azo pendant groups in copolyme
r have also been investigated, and the kinetic parameters were evaluat
ed. An azo acrylate model compound was used for comparison.
