The review presents the state-of-the-art analysis
of investigations in the field of a new line of research
of photochromism – nanophotochromism. The design,
properties, and possible applications of photochromic
nanoparticles prepared by different methods with the use
of photochromic substances (aggregates, host-guest, and
polymer systems, solid nanoparticles) aswell as core-shell
photochromic nanostructures based on polymers, silica,
quantum dots, doped upconversion nanocrystals, and Ag,
Au, etc. nanoparticles have been reviewed.
