Photoisomerization and local stability in molecular and polymer-network glasses
Abstract
We explore the photo-response of azobenzene compositions in glassy epoxy matrices, finding that the response time of individual azobenzenes is distributed according to a power law, where the median response can be tuned by both azobenzene chemistry and matrix properties.
