Photomechanical Response of Composite Structures Built from Azobenzene Liquid Crystal Polymer Networks

Optically directed shape adaptive responses have been sought after for many decades in photoresponsive polymeric materials. A number of recent examinations have elucidated elucidated the unique opportunities of photomechanical responses realized in azobenzene-functionalized liquid crystalline polyme...
