title: Photocontrol of solvent responsiveness of structural colored balloons.
abstract: The structural colored balloons (SCBs) composed of poly(vinyl cinnamate) (PVCi) showed solvent responsiveness of structural color by the change of shell thickness along with the size change by osmotic pressure, and the gradual color change could be stopped by UV irradiation. The rate of size change was decreased by the increase of the molecular weight upon photo-cross-linking reaction of PVCi.
