Light-directed dynamic structure formation and alignment in photoresponsive thin films
Light provides practical and versatile tools for structure formation and its tuning of soft materials. This article briefly over-views recent developments of photoalignment and phototuning of nanostructured materials focusing onto the 2D material systems. Two topics are involved; i) phototuning and alignment of microphase-separated nanostructures in block copolymers containing a photoisomerizable unit and ii) photoalignment of organic/silica nanohybrids prepared on a polymer film with photocrosslinkable unit.
