Abstract
The spectroscopic and photochemical properties of polyurethane coumarine (PUC) in solid state were investigated at room temperature under once-photon excitation. One photon induced photocycloaddition of PUC was investigated and the AFM and spectroscopic FTIR analysis confirmed dimer formation. The AFM analysis shows that the fotodimerization process occurs at the surface of polymer films. The polyurethane coumarine film on CaF2 unirradiated and irradiated underline both the fotodimerization of the polymer films as well as the photoclevage of the polyurethane coumarin.
