Personal Account summarizes progress in thermally stable photoswitches, indicating diverse polymer applications.
While conventional photoswitches are consumed by the flames of thermal energy, thermally stable photoswitches represented by stiff stilbenes (SS and HSS) survive unscathed within their protective barriers. The white lines woven across the background represent polymer chains, illustrating the application of these robust photoswitches in polymeric systems for reversible control of structures and properties. In the Personal Account (DOI: 10.1002/tcr.70143), Keiichi Imato summarizes recent progress in thermally stable photoswitches—particularly SS and HSS—and illustrates how these systems enable diverse polymer applications.
