Light-induced mechanical response in crosslinked liquid-crystalline polymers with photoswitchable glass transition temperatures

Energy conversion of light into mechanical work is of fundamental interest for a wide range of applications, but the development of efficient light responsive polymers is challenging. Here the authors demonstrate photoswitchable  glass transition temperatures contribute to the photomechanical bendin...
