Photochromic Nanoparticles and Their Properties

Abstract

The results of own studies in the field of nanophotochromism are generalized. Prospects of the development and application of photochromic nanoparticles based on spirocompounds (spiropyrans and spirooxazines), as well as diarylethenes in the form of aggregates; individual nanoparticles; and, especially, core‒shell type systems, using nanoparticles of noble metals (Ag and Au), quantum dots, and nanodiamonds, are shown.
