We investigated hydration and swelling behavior of a solid state photoresponsive copolymer in water by using a quartz crystal microbalance technique with dissipation measurement (QCM-D technique). On the gold film electrode of a quartz resonator, we deposited a thin layer of a pNSp-NIPAAm, which is a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAAm) polymer partially modified with a photochromic chromophore, 6-nitrospiropyran (NSp). Using QCM-D measurements, we found that at a temperature of 19 degrees C both water adsorption and changes in the viscoelasticity of the solid pNSp-NIPAAm layer were induced when pNSp-NIPAAm was irradiated by 365 nm ultraviolet light, which triggers the photoisomerization of the NSp chromophore and makes the structure of the chromophore hydrophilic. At temperatures between 25 and 35 degrees C, this photo-induced hydration was not observed. These observations suggest that the photoisomerization of the NSp chromophores triggered the photo-induced hydration only when pNIPAAm component is sufficiently hydrophilic, at a temperature of 19 degrees C.
