Photothermal and Reorientational Contributions to the Photomechanical Response of DR1 Azo Dye-Doped PMMA Fibers

Photothermal and Reorientational Contributions to the Photomechanical Response of DR1 Azo Dye-Doped PMMA Fibers

This work is a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study aimed at understanding the photothermal and molecular shape-change contributions to the photomechanical effect of polymers doped with azo dyes. Our prototypical system is the azobenzene dye Disperse Red 1 (DR1) doped into poly (methyl m...
