Fluorinated azobenzenes for shape-persistent liquid crystal polymer networks

Liquid crystal polymer networks respond with anisotropic deformation to a range of external stimuli. When doped with molecular photo-switches, these networks undergo complex shape modification under illumination. As the deformations reverse when irradiation stops, applications where thermal stabilit...
