Abstract

With a simple reaction pathway, a polymerizable solvatochromic dye monomer was synthesized. Copolymerization of this dye monomer with N i PAAM leads to formation of a solvatochromic copolymer with lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior. This resulting copolymer visualizes via a red-orange color change (a) the LCST phase transition and (b) the host-guest interaction of cyclodextrin with this copolymer simply by the naked ...
