Abstract: ABSTRACT Crosslinked liquid-crystalline polymers (CLCPs) containing azobenzene moieties show reversible macroscopic deformation upon irradiation with light. The deformation of CLCPs strongly depends on alignment of mesogens. Therefore, it is desirable that the alignment of mesogens… read more here.
