Synthesis of new photoresponsive polymers containing trifluoromethyl-substituted norbornadiene moieties
Polymers containing trifluoromethyl (CF3)-substituted donor-acceptor NBD moieties in the side chain or in the main chain were synthesized by substitution or addition with CF3-NBD-carboxylic acid derivatives, or by polycondensation of CF3-NBD-dicarboxylic acid derivatives, and the durability of the resulting polymers was examined.
