Abstract

Methacrylic monomers containing chiral moieties and azobenzene derivatives were synthesized. As the chiral component was used menthol. The polymerization properties of monomer (5-methyl-2- (1-methyl)cyclohexanol with azomonomers were studied and the reactivity ratios as well as parameters Q and e characterizing the activity of the obtained monomers have been calculated. On basis of the synthesized monomers were synthesized chiral-photochromic copolymers and their absorption spectra were studied. It was shown that in the copolymers absorption spectra the absorption maxima are in the wavelength region of 340-360 nm and correspond to trans-form of azo fragments
