LIGHT-DRIVEN ACTUATOR, MANUFACTURING PROCESS FOR LIGHT-DRIVEN ACTUATOR, CONDENSATION POLYMER AND FILM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light-driven actuator which has a rapid light response, is flexible and light weight and driven in silence, a simple and easy manufacturing process of the light-driven actuator, a good polymer used for manufacturing the light-driven actuator and a film made of the polymer. SOLUTION: The light-driven actuator contains a condensation polymer which includes a photoisomerizable group causing a structural change in response to light stimulation in the main chain and is deformed according to the structural change of the photoisomerizable group. The condensation polymer is deformed in response to light stimulation and functions as an actuator. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
