Today cross-cutting approaches, where molecular engineering and clever processing are
synergistically coupled, allow the chemist to tailor complex hybrid systems of various shapes …

Photochromic organic–inorganic hybrid materials have attracted considerable attention
owing to their potential application in photoactive devices, such as optical memories …

The second edition of this best-selling handbook is bigger, more comprehensive, and now
completely current. In addition to thorough updates to the discussions featured in the first …

In this work studies on photochromism for optics and photonics are reviewed. The versatility
of organic chemistry gives photochromic materials wide opportunities for several …

In this study, a hybrid silica sol-gel embedded with a photochromic dye has been applied to
wool fabric to form a photochromic coating. The treated wool fabrics showed very quick …

Polymer-dispersed perylene di-imide dye photodegradation is investigated by monitoring
the fluorescence intensity as a function of 532 nm laser pulses. Anaerobically irradiated …

Photochromic molecules have been recently adopted by many researchers for organic field-
effect transistor (OFET) applications, since they offer the opportunity to achieve flexible-type …

Previously, we have reported a method for producing photochromic wool fabric by applying
a thin layer of hybrid silica-photochromic dye onto the wool surface. While the photochromic …

Thin films containing photochromatic spiropyran (SP) was prepared from polymethyl
methacrylate (PMMA), polyethyl methacrylate (PEMA), poly (n-butyl methacrylate)(PnBMA) …

Abstract Novel poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) doped with two different spiropyran
derivatives (SP) were investigated as potential candidates for the preparation of elastomeric …
