“Photomechanical effect in amorphous azopolymers”

Project manager: dr Jolanta Konieczkowska

Implementation period: 26.06.2020 – 25.06.2023

The aim of the project is to elucidate the relationships between the structure and properties of functionalized azo polyimides, guest-host systems and azo blends. The results obtained in the project may allow to determine some general relationships between the chemical structure of new (azo)materials and cis-trans / trans-cis isomerization, mechanical properties and photomechanical properties, which would enable modeling of the chemical structure of polymers in order to obtain materials with specific properties.
