Responsive Polymer Photonics**

چکیده
This thesis discusses innovative approaches to polymer-based photonic coatings, with the present chapter presenting an overview of developments in this field. The coatings in question can change their topological properties in a reversible, dynamic way when exposed to an external stimulus. This thesis will first describe photoresponsive coatings that change their surface topography and therefore their functional properties, such as wettability, upon exposure to light. Photonic coatings in which exposure to a certain trigger leads to an optical response will then be discussed. A change in the dimensions of these coatings triggered by a stimulus results in an alteration of their photonic properties. These two kinds of materials have a shared property: a stimulus leads to a volumetric and/or dimensional change. The final section of the present chapter sets out the aims of the research and the structure of this thesis. This chapter is partially reproduced from: J. E. Stumpel, D. J. Broer and A. P. H. J. Schenning, Chemical Communications, 2014, Accepted manuscript.
