Description

Azobenzene-Modified Polymer (Light-Responsive Hydrogel) is a smart biomaterial designed to respond to light stimuli through reversible photoisomerization. The azobenzene moieties embedded within the polymer backbone undergo trans–cis isomerization when exposed to specific wavelengths of light, leading to controlled changes in hydrogel structure, mechanical properties, and permeability.

This light-triggered behavior enables precise spatial and temporal control over material function without direct physical contact. The system is widely used in applications requiring remote activation, such as controlled drug release, microactuation, and dynamic biomaterials. The responsiveness can be tuned by modifying polymer composition and light exposure conditions.
