In this paper the size distribution of free volume elements in amorphous glassy perfluorpolymer Hyflon® AD was evaluated. Films of the polymer, containing a series of stilbene and azobenzene photochromic probe molecules with different sizes, were prepared by solution casting. The photo-induced cis-trans isomerisation was studied and the degree of photo-isomerization was correlated with the size distribution of local free volume elements in the polymer matrix.

Abstract
In this paper the size distribution of free volume elements in amorphous glassy perfluorpolymer Hyflon® AD was evaluated. Films of the polymer, containing a series of stilbene and azobenzene photochromic probe molecules with different sizes, were prepared by solution casting. The photo-induced cis-trans isomerisation was studied and the degree of photo-isomerization was correlated with the size distribution of local free volume elements in the polymer matrix.File in questo prodotto:
