Recent progress on photochromic diarylethene polymers

Abstract

Organic photochromic materials based on diarylethenes and their derivatives have been intensively investigated from fundamental research to technological applications. This review briefly presents the latest advances in photochromic polymers containing diarylethenes and their derivatives. Polymer matrices doped with diarylethene derivatives and diarylethene electroactive polymers will also be included. The new and significant research in the field of photochromic diarylethenes polymers is highlighted. Their design and preparation methods, various properties and possible applications are briefly discussed.
