Stimuli responsive polymer gels for sensing applications
… co-polymerised with a monomer based on the light responsive chromophore Spiropyran (SP). The hybrid materials contain a silane centre chemically tethered to an acrylate monomer via a propyl linker which are co-polymerised with a varying metal propoxide/methacrylate complex. These hybrid materials …
