Characterization of photo-induced mechanical responses in Azobenzene polymers
A cantilever based sensor system was adapted to characterize the photo-mechanical effect in thin films of azobenzene based polymers coated on silicon and mica cantilevers. The photomechanical effect is defined as a reversible molecular shape change upon absorption of light, resulting in a significan...
