Photochromism of Diarylethene-functionalized Polystyrene with High Conversion in a Solid-state Polymer Film

Photochromic polymers that exhibit thermally irreversible and photochemically reversible color changes were synthesized by radical polymerization of a styrene monomer having a photochromic diarylethene chromophore. The photocoloration reaction of the polymer proceeded with high conversion even in the solid-state polymer film.
