摘要
A series of copolymers of 4'-[[[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]ethyl]amino]-4-nitroazobenzene (DR1M) and an optically "inert" styrene comonomer were tested for photoinduced birefringence. The level of saturated birefringence increased linearly with the content of DR1M in the copolymer. The birefringence per mole of azo chromophore was constant along the copolymer series.
