This book reviews the cutting-edge significant research in the
field of smart light-responsive materials based on azobenzene
polymers and liquid crystals. Emphasis is placed on the discovery
of new phenomena from the past 5 years, their underlying
mechanisms, new functionalities, and properties achieved through
rational design. Edited by leading authorities in the field, Zhao
and Ikeda, the chapters are authored by an
internationally-recognized team of experts from North America,
Europe, and Asia. Smart Light-Responsive Materials will serve to
catalyze new research that will lead this field over the next 5-10
years.
