On the degradation process in electrophotographic cadmium sulphide binder layers

The two stages of degradation in electrophotographic cadmium sulphide binder layers-fatigue and ageing are investigated. The dependences of the photoinduced decay of the potential and the contrast potential vs the exposure time during the first cycle and in fatigue show that this process probably occurs in the bulk of the semiconductor particles. The changes of the photoinduced decay of the potential during the second stage of degradation, ageing, may be associated with changes in the barrier structure.     

Effect of Substitution on the Change of Refractive Index in Dithienylethenes: An Ellipsometric Study

An ellipsometric study was carried out in order to investigate the photoinduced change of the refractive index (Δn) of a series of diarylethenes across the entire spectral range 260–1700 nm. This technique allowed examination of the influence of the resonance conditions on the refractive index. Changing the chemical design of diarylethenes by introducing electron‐donating or electron‐withdrawing substituents in 5,5′‐positions of thiophyene allowed derivation of some correlations between chemical structure and Δn. A strong donor substituent directly linked to the 5,5′‐position of the diarylethene moiety gave rise to an increase in the change of the refractive index. 1,2‐bis(2‐methyl‐5‐formyl‐3‐thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene phenyl hydrazone showed a large and stable Δn of 0.005 at 1.5 μm and appeared to be a good candidate for the development of telecommunication devices.     

Entangled Azobenzene‐Containing Polymers with Photoinduced Reversible Solid‐to‐Liquid Transitions for Healable and Reprocessable Photoactuators

Photoactuators based on liquid crystal elastomers or networks are smart materials that show photoinduced motions. However, their crosslinked networks make their repair or reprocessing difficult. Here, a healable and reprocessable photoactuator is fabricated using entangled high‐molecular‐weight azobenzene‐containing polymers (azopolymers) that are non‐crosslinked. A series of linear liquid crystal azopolymers with different molecular weights are synthesized. The low‐molecular‐weight azopolymers (5–53 kg mol^?1) cannot form freestanding photoactuators because their polymer chains lack entanglements, which makes them hard and brittle. In contrast, flexible and stretchable actuators are fabricated using high‐molecular‐weight azopolymers (80–100 kg mol^?1) that exhibit good processability because of the polymer chain entanglements. The azopolymer photoactuators show photoinduced bending based on photoinduced trans–cis isomerization of the azopolymers on the irradiated side. The experiments show not only photoinduced phase transitions or changes in the order parameters but also photoinduced solid‐to‐liquid transition of the azopolymers resulting in shape changes and mechanical responses. Thus, photoinduced solid‐to‐liquid transition is a new mechanism for the design of photoactuators. Moreover, the azopolymer photoactuators are healable and reprocessable via solution processing or light irradiation. Healability and reprocessability prolong lifetimes of photoactuators are important for materials reusage and recycling, and represent a new strategy for the preparation of smart materials.     

Photoinduced Tuning of Optical Stop Bands in Azopolymer Based Inverse Opal Photonic Crystals

Photo‐tunable photonic crystals were prepared from three dimensional (3D) colloidal crystal templates using a photoresponsive azopolymer. For the preparation of azopolymer infiltrated photonic crystals, silica colloidal crystals were fabricated by gravity sedimentation, a self‐assembly technique. The interstitial voids between colloidal particles were filled with azopolymer and azopolymer inverse opals were produced by treatment with aqueous hydrofluoric acid. These photonic crystals exhibited stop bands in their transmission spectra measured in the normal incidence to the (111) plane of face centered cubic (fcc). The photonic bandgap of the azopolymer infiltrated opal and inverse opal could be controlled by the refractive index change due to the photoinduced orientation of azobenzene chromophores. When the azopolymer photonic crystals were irradiated with linearly polarized light, their bandgap positions were shifted to shorter wavelength regions with increasing irradiation time. This behavior experimentally produced a photoinduced orientation of the azobenzene groups in parallel with the incidence of the excitation light. Through such an out‐of‐plane orientation of azo chromophores, parallel to the [111] fcc crystallographic axis, the effective refractive index of the photonic crystal medium was decreased. Therefore, a blue‐shift in bandgap positions was consequently induced with 20–40 nm tuning ranges. The out‐of‐plane orientation was confirmed by angular resolved absorption spectral measurements.
