Light-driven Bending of Polymer Films in Which Salicylidenephenylethylamine Crystals are Aligned Magnetically

摘要

Silicone polymer films in which plate-like chiral and achiral crystals of salicylidencphenylethylamines were aligned by a magnetic field were prepared. The polymer films exhibited reversible photomechanical bending upon alternate irradiation with UV and visible light.
