Temperature-Modulated Photomechanical Actuation of Photoactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers

Photoactive liquid crystal elastomers are polymer networks of liquid crystal mesogens embedded with chromophores like azobenzene. They undergo large deformation when illuminated by light of a certain wavelength through photochemical reaction, inspiring exciting new applications. However, despite the...
