摘要

Abstract

The synthesis of a new azobenzene (azo)-containing main-chain crystalline polymer with reactive secondary amino groups in its backbone and photodeformation behaviors of its supramolecular hydrogen-bonded fibers are described. This main-chain azo polymer (namely Azo-MP6) was prepared

via

first the synthesis of a diacrylate-type azo monomer and its subsequent Michael addition copolymerization with

trans

-1

4-cyclohexanediamine under a mild reaction condition. Azo-MP6 was found to have a linear main-chain chemical structure instead of a branched one

as verified by comparing its

H-NMR spectrum with that of the azo polymer prepared

via

the polymer analogous reaction of Azo-MP6 with acetic anhydride. The thermal stability

phase transition behavior

and photoresponsivity of Azo-MP6 were characterized with TGA

DSC

POM

XRD

and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The experimental results revealed that it had good thermal stability

low glass transition temperature

broad crystalline phase temperature range

and highly reversible photoresponsivity. Physically crosslinked supramolecular hydrogen-bonded fibers with good mechanical properties and a high alignment order of azo mesogens were readily fabricated from Azo-MP6 by using the simple melt spinning method

and they could show " reversible” photoinduced bending under the same UV light irradiation and good anti-fatigue properties.
