Popis: New azopolysiloxanes modified with nucleobases with potential application in biology were synthesized and their thermal stability was evaluated. These types of materials can present two possible applications: obtaining of films with nanostructured surface that may be used in cell directional development control and in biomolecular binding and nanohandling. Both applications involve, however, material interaction with laser beams, which require a series of precautions with regard to polymer thermal stability. We considered it essential to perform very thorough thermal stability studies that would provide accurate information concerning the lowest temperature at which thermal degradation occurred. Some correlations between structure—thermal stability were derived.
