Different modes of interaction between the realm of photochemistry and photophysics and the domain of polymer chemistry are discussed. A distinction between photoinitiation and photopolymerization is drawn on the basis of the role of the excited state either in the chain starting or chain-growing process. Attention is drawn to specific properties or problems in the photochemistry and photophysics of macromolecules. The influence of neighbouring groups, high local concentrations etc. are discussed in relation to polymer transformation and excimer formation.
