Reversible Switching of the Shear Modulus of Photoresponsive Liquid-Crystalline Polymers

Reversible Switching of the Shear Modulus of Photoresponsive Liquid-Crystalline Polymers

Manipulation makes light work: The morphology and rheological properties of a liquid-crystalline system can be dynamically manipulated with UV light by attaching photoresponsive liquid-crystalline moieties to a siloxane-based polymer. Stimulation with UV light induces a conformational change in the...
