H. Meier et al., PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF STILBENOID COMPOUNDS - WAYS FROM PHOTOCHEMISTRY TO MATERIALS SCIENCE, Journal of information recording, 24(1-2), 1998, pp. 47
Due to their photophysical and photochemical properties stilbenoid com
pounds (Scheme 1) can be used for many applications in materials scien
ce. In particular an NLO system, a photoresist, a photoconductive mate
rial and some imaging and switching techniques in stilbenoid liquid cr
ystals are discussed here.
