PHOTOMECHANICAL EFFECTS IN PHOTOCHROrIC SYSTEMS
Indoleninospirobenzopyrans (ISBP) undergo under ultraviolet irradiation ring opening with production of strongly coloured merocyanines, which can return thermally or photochemically to the colourless spirobenzopyrans. Their decolouration rate in stretched polymer matrices depends on their molar volume, the physical properties of the matrix and on the orientation of the polarized light with resp...
متن کاملMotion of Adsorbed Nano-Particles on Azobenzene Containing Polymer Films.
We demonstrate in situ recorded motion of nano-objects adsorbed on a photosensitive polymer film. The motion is induced by a mass transport of the underlying photoresponsive polymer material occurring during irradiation with interference pattern. The polymer film contains azobenzene molecules that undergo reversible photoisomerization reaction from trans- to cis-conformation. Through a multi-sc...
متن کاملSynthesis of a photoresponsive liquid-crystalline polymer containing azobenzene.
The synthesis of an oriented liquid-crystalline photoresponsive polymer, prepared by polymerization of mono- and di-acrylates, both of which contain azobenzene chromophores, is reported. The prepared free-standing polymer film shows strong reversible photoinduced deformation upon exposure to unpolarized UV light at 366 nm, as a result of an optically induced isomeric change of the azobenzene mo...
متن کاملPhotomechanical Bending of Azobenzene-Based Photochromic Molecular Fibers
Microfibers composed of azobenzene-based photochromic amorphous molecular materials, namely low molecular-mass photochromic materials with a glass-forming property, could be fabricated. These fibers were found to exhibit mechanical bending motion upon irradiation with a laser beam. In addition, the bending direction could be controlled by altering the polarization direction of the irradiated li...
متن کاملPhotomechanical responses of carbon nanotube/polymer actuators
Recent studies have investigated the photomechanical properties of carbon nanotubes which can be utilized to construct optical actuators. In this paper we compare the photomechanical response from single-wall and multi-wall carbon nanotube/polymer systems in multilayer and nanocomposite actuator constructions. Incorporating polymers in the actuators, single-wall and multi-wall nanotubes show si...
