Abstract
Light induced fabrication of complex surface relief structures on azobenzen e functionalized polymers is reported. Large class of side chain and main c hain polymers can be utilized to record these relief structures. The record ing and erasure process are strongly dependent on the polarization. Possibl e transport mechanism of polymer chains well Below the glass transition tem perature due to photoinduced effect is discussed.
