The photomechanics of azobenzene LCNs is modeled using a nonlinear continuum
mechanics approach that couples photoisomerization of liquid crystal domain structures with …

We apply an interpolation-based edge-tracking algorithm to measure nanoscale
displacements of microdevices, and further enhance its ability to reject noisy signals using …

Azobenzene liquid crystal polymers have emerged as a new type of adaptive material in
recent years. The materials contain photo sensitive azobenzene mesogens that are …

Azobenzene liquid crystal polymer networks have recently drawn significant attention due to
their novel photomechanical material behavior for developing remotely actuated adaptive …

Addition of micro-and/or nanoscale textures to surfaces can enable engineering of a wide
range of properties. Passive surfaces (using fixed microstructures) can manipulate cell …

Liquid crystal polymer networks exhibit a large number of field-coupled mechanical
characteristics including light induced deformation, flexoelectricity, thermal shape memory …
