A nurober of selected aspects of the reciprocal interactions of polymers with excited solutes or polymer-hound chromophores are given. The role of free volume, glass-transition temperature (Tg), microscopic viscosity, and polarity or environments to which excited molecules are exposed is emphasized in order to illustrate possible manners in which the photophysical, photochemical, and subsequent chemistries can be influenced.
