Abstract

Shape memory behavior was applied here as a new approach for developing the latent photopatterned morphologies in two/three dimension (2D/3D) on the modified poly(styrene-block-butadiene-block-styrene) (SBS). By attaching anthracene groups onto the SBS chains, the elastomer frozen in the deformed state was photopatterned via the photodimerization of anthracene. Upon thermal treatment, shape memory process could effectively develop the latent photopatterning induced 2D-2D and 2D-3D shape transformation. Due to the reversible dimerization of anthracene, the photoinduced patterns and the shape conformation could be erased and redeveloped for multiple times.
