Optical data storage smart polymers

Smart polymers for optical data storage CuBr, PMDETA... 

Other complex architectures, such as azobenzene star polymers (Angiolini et al, 2006) and molecular brushes (Lee et al, 2006a), have also been prepared, although their optical data storage capabilities have not yet been explored. Advances in these new macromolecular architectures are generally based on the combination of CRP and click chemistry reactions as a synthetic tool for achieving more complex smart polymers. 

Smart photoaddressable polymers containing azobenzene units have been actively investigated over more than two decades as media for optical data storage. Information can be recorded in these materials, through the effect of...
