Abstract

The helix-coil transition of poly{(S)-3,7-dimethyloctyl-n-propylsilane}, PDMOPS, in solution as well as in the solid state was discussed. It was shown that the behavior of the PDMOPS was analyzed in the bulk state using differential scanning calorimetry. The analysis shows that UV and CD spectra of the PDMOPS film cast from an isooctane solution at a second heating run (heating/cooling rates of around 1-5°C/min). It was found that the helix-coil transition in the solid state was highly reversible and was applicable in the switching system assigned as "+1 and 0".
