Abstract
In this work, we reported a new insight on the kinetics of photoisomerization and time evolution of hybrid thin films considering the azo-dye methyl red (MR) incorporated with graphene accommodated in polyethylene oxide (PEO). The kinetics of photoisomerization and time-evolution of hybrid thin films were investigated using UV-Vis s and FTIR spectroscopies, as well as appropriate models developed with new analytical methods. The existence of azo-dye MR in the complex is crucial for the resource action of the trans cis cycles through UV-illumination Visible-illumination relaxations. The results of the UV-Vis and the FTIR investigations prove the cyclical trans [...] .
