PNIPAM Copolymers Containing Light‐Responsive Chromophores: A Method Toward Molecular Logic Gates
Authors:Florian D. Jochum  F. Romina Forst  Patrick Theato
Abstract:A series of thermo‐responsive PNIPAM copolymers containing different amounts of fulgimide moieties has been synthesized via a polymer analogous reaction of poly(pentafluorophenyl acrylate). All copolymers were designed to exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in water, which was only weakly dependent on the amount of incorporated chromophoric fulgimide groups. The copolymers showed a photocyclization of the fulgimide side groups upon irradiation with UV‐light accompanied with a color change. The closed form of the chromophore had a halftime of 136 min for the visible reisomerization and did not affect the LCST of the polymer. This led to the realization of a logic “NOT A” for the fulgimide containing PNIPAM, while a corresponding azobenzene containing PNIPAM resulted in a different logic “A implies B”.
