N. Yoshimoto et al., Three-dimensional orientational photocontrol of liquid-crystalline molecules in photoresponsive polymer networks, CHEM LETT, (7), 1999, pp. 711-712
Three-dimensional orientation of liquid crystal molecules is induced by sla
ntwise non-polarized visible light irradiation of a composite of a nematic
liquid crystal and crosslinked polymer networks with azobenzene side chains
, exhibiting rewritability and storage stability.
