Three novel polymers (P(FHEMA-co-MAAT)s) having redox and photoresponsive moieties were prepared by free radical polymerization. The structures and molecular weights of the synthesized copolymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) respectively. Thermal properties, optical features and electroactive properties were studied with the help of thermogravimetric (TG), differential thermogravimetric (DTG) analysis, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). It was seen that synthesized copolymers had excellent redox and photoresponsive properties. These results exhibited that these polymers can be applied further for redox/photo responsive information storage devices.
