Thermoregulation is an essential function of the human body for adapting to the surrounding
temperature. Stimuli-responsive smart textiles can provide effective protection of the human …

Thin free standing films have been obtained by casting from dimethylacetamide solutions of
some azo-copolyimides. The dynamo-mechanical and dielectric properties, and the effect of …

Photo-induced isomerization between trans and cis isomers is the basis of azobenzene-
based photoactive materials. In this work, isomerization and phase behavior of …

Giant amphiphiles containing azobenzene and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane
(POSS) units are synthesized by linking 4, 4′-azodianiline (ADA) and POSS derivatives by …

This chapter discusses the historical and technological development of two important
techniques for fabricating ultrathin films: Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) and layer-by-layer (LbL) …

Azobenzene‐containing poly (amic acid) s and resulting polyimides were synthesized.
Polymers differed in the polymer backbone structure and the position at which the …

Multifunctional materials (MFMs) can be an important system because of their capacity to
combine different properties useful for electronic devices. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes …

The light induced behaviour of siloxane substituted azobenzene compounds in the
presence of alkylene spacers is reported for the first time. Firstly, these photosensitive …

The capability of azobenzene group to undergo photoinduced trans–cis isomerization is the
basis of azobenzene-based photoactive materials. In this work, the thermodynamically …

Amide linkage was introduced into azo compound at para position and its optical storage
properties were investigated. Synthesized compounds showed liquid crystalline behavior …
