INDUCTION OF CONTRACTILE PROPERTIES IN MACROMOLECULAR SUBSTANCES BY LIGHT.

Abstract

A summary is given of work involving the design and study of polymer systems in which the macromolecules reversibly change their dimensions by light, and also the outline of some of the chemistry of the interaction of isomerizable chromophores with polymers which bind them.
