A novel photo-sensitive telechelic polymer--coumarin-containing poly(4-vinylpyridine) (C-P4VP) was prepared using 4-vinylpyridine as a monomer, azodiiso-butyronile (AIBN) as an initiator, and coumarin-containing disulfides (C-S-S-C) as a chain transfer agent in the presence of tributylphosphine (Bu3P)/H2O. The polymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). We found that the

Additionally, when lowering the acidity of the aqueous solution, the polymer micelles gradually compacted and the degree of coumarin photo-dimerization decreased initially and then increased within a similar irradiation time.
