Abstract

We report on the laser and sunlight driven, fast and large oscillation of cantilevers composed of photoresponsive liquid crystal polymer materials. The oscillation frequency, driven with a focused 100 mW laser of multiple wavelengths (457, 488, 514 nm), is as high as 270 Hz and is shown to be strongly correlated to the physical dimensions of the cantilever. The experimental frequency response is accurately described by the calculated natural resonant frequency for a non-damped cantilever. To further understand the conversion efficiency of light energy to mechanical work in the system, the oscillatory behavior of a 2.7 mm × 0.7 mm × 0.04 mm cantilever was examined at pressures ranging from 1 atm to 0.03 atm. A large increase in amplitude from 110° at STP to 250° at low pressure was observed. A first approximation of the system efficiency was calculated at 0.1%. The large increase in amplitude at low pressure indicates strong hydrodynamic loss and thus, the material efficiency is potentially much greater. Using a simple optical setup, oscillatory behavior was also demonstrated using sunlight. This work indicates the potential for remotely triggered photoactuation of photoresponsive polymer cantilevers from long distances with lasers or focused sunlight.

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.
