Role of Material Composition in Photothermal Actuation of DASA-Based Polymers

Miranda M. Sroda et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of the host matrix on the photothermally driven actuation performance of DASA-based polymers. By designing polymeric materials with varying DASA incorporation, the relationships between material composition and physical, mechanical, and photoswitching properties are examined. Results demonstrate the importance of designing a material that is stiff enough for mechanical strength required for actuation, yet soft enough for reversible switching, providing key considerations for application-oriented photoswitchable materials.

Photolithographic Fabrication of Mechanically Adaptive Devices

Baptiste Monney et al.

Summary: Water-responsive polymers can alter their shape and mechanical properties based on swelling, but have limited processing options. By using a negative photoresist approach, complex-shaped objects can be produced and the cross-link density and refractive index can be adjusted under physiological conditions. This study provides a straightforward method for fabricating mechanically adaptive devices.
