Babich, K., Krupka, O., Smokal, V. (2013). Synthesis of Benzylidene and Azo Containing Polymers for Photophisical Application. French-Ukrainian Journal of Chemistry, 1(1), 105–110.

In the present work, the polymers built with the use of the free radical polymerization of methacrylic monomers incorporating an azobenzene side-group and monomers with benzylidene fragments have been synthesized. The polymerization was carried out in DMF with AIBN as initiator. The products of polymerization were characterized by HNMR. The results of investigations of photochemical and optical activities of the corresponding polymers are presented.
