  * Rosario et al describe the creation of a photocapillary. They made use of a two step modification to separate each spiropyran with nonpolar tert-butyldiphenylsilyl groups.

  * Shiraishi et al describe the fuctionalization of gold nanoparticles with a thiol terminated spiropyran dye. Seems like a simple method, however it takes 30min for large (~300nm) aggregates for form and then 90min for the aggregates to break up.

  * Florea et al describe solvent effects on spiropyran derivatives. The group developed a colormetric method for determining solvent polarity. The open form presents a blue shift in solvents on increasing polarity.

conditions]]
  *The dynamics of a water soluble spiropyran is investigated by means of femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy in the visible and infrared spectral range revealing an ultrafast reversible switching behavior under aqueous conditions with a high fatigue resistance

Photochromic Spiropyran: A Light-Controlled Valve and Electrical Switch]]
  * By modifying the surface of nanoporous alumina membranes using mixtures of a photochromic spiropyran and hydrophobic molecules, it is possible to control the admission of water into the membrane using light.

  * A rough surface morphology is shown to significantly amplify the light-induced change in water contact angle of a photoresponsive surface.

Spiropyran-Merocyanine Polymers ]]
  * Methacrylate, acrylate, and styrene polymers with photochromic spiropyran side groups connected to the main chains through spacers of various lengths were prepared by free radical polymerization.
