• Conversion of light into macroscopic helical motion. (2014, methodology): “This gradient of concentration in reactive monomers drives the diffusion of the monomers to the top of the film during polymerization and the final sample displays a higher density and cross-link density at the top.(36) In order to confirm that the curvature of the ribbons is influenced by a density”
• Azobenzene photomechanics: prospects and potential applications (2012, background): “[247] showed that the bending direction can be controlled by designing the material to bear internal composition gradients within the LC polymer network, and as the latest example, Shishido and co-workers [248] showed that the bending direction can also be dictated by the nature of bonding between t”
