Light-activated shape memory of glassy, azobenzene liquid crystalline polymer networks

Rapidly reconfigurable, adaptive materials are essential for the realization of "smart", highly engineered technologies sought by aerospace, medicine, and other application areas. Shape memory observed in metal alloys and polymers (SMPs) is a primary example of shape change (adaptation). T...
