Resumen:
Polymeric materials incorporating azobenzene moieties have been extensively studied due to their potential technological applications, such as optical storage, optical switching, liquid crystal alignment and optical diffraction devices among many others.
It is also well known that epoxy networks are highly transparent and have excellent mechanical and thermal properties. In previous works epoxy-amine polymers having azo groups covalently bonded have been satisfactorily synthesized, characterized and their optical properties carefully analyzed.
Based on that knowledge, the principal objective of this work is to synthesize and characterize epoxy homopolymers containing azo groups covalently linked that could exhibit optical anisotropy when are excited with polarized light.
