| In the effort to design new photochromic material for integral parts in many scientific processes I have synthesized, characterized and studied photophysical characteristics of new photochromic polymers. By coupling the properties of a photochromic unit with that of polymers one can anticipate the discovery of new viable photochromic materials that has the possibility to enhance the processes in many scientific fields.;Water solubility in photochromic processes gives life to new innovations and possibilities in the scientific community. As part of my dissertation I have designed, synthesized and studied new water soluble photochromic polymers.;The findings in this dissertation will help to reveal the understandings of incorporating/coupling a photochromic molecule with that of polymers. |
