Nonlinear photomechanics of nematic networks: upscaling microscopic behaviour to macroscopic deformation
A liquid crystal network whose chromophores are functionalized by photochromic dye exhibits light-induced mechanical behaviour. As a result, the micro-scaled thermotropic traits of the network and the macroscopic phase behaviour are both influenced as light alternates the shape of the dyes. In this...
