Photomechanical Solid Polymers: Model for Pressure and Strain Induced by Photoisomerization and Photo-Orientation

Photoactive polymers are important for fundamental studies and applications in several area of photonics such as data storage and holography and nonlinear optics and photomechanics. The latter is perhaps one of the most important applications of such materials, since they act as light to mechanical...
