Anisotropic Bending and Unbending Behavior of Azobenzene Liquid‐Crystalline Gels by Light Exposure
Abstract
Freestanding azobenzene‐containing liquid‐crystalline gel films that undergo a significant and anisotropic bending toward the irradiation direction when exposed to UV light have been prepared. When the bent films are exposed to visible light they unbend immediately, and the initial flat films are restored (see Figure and Inside front cover).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
