Abstract Four linear polymers containing pendant azo moiety were synthesized through click chemistry for second-order nonlinear optical study. The polymers were found soluble in most of the polar organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), chloroform, and dimethyl formamide (DMF). The polymers showed thermal stability up to 300 C and glass transition temperatures (T g) in the range of 120–140 C. The molecular weights (M w) of these ...
