photosensitive polymer

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.PT07182
Polymer that responds to @[email protected] or @[email protected] light by exhibiting a change in its physical properties or its chemical @[email protected]
Notes:
  1. Examples of the changes in photosensitive polymers are a change in @[email protected] (photoresponsive polymer), a change in its @[email protected] ([email protected]@), and a reversible change in color (photochromic polymer).
  2. Photosensitivity in photosensitive polymers means that the polymers are sensitive to the irradiated light leading to some change in properties or structure. It is different from @[email protected]
