“…138 The use of light-sensitive polypeptides as intelligent molecular materials has been proposed for various applications such as micro-and nanoelectronics, biomedicine, ecology, and other related areas of science. 139 Photo-responsive polypeptide monolayers prepared at airwater interfaces have also been of interest for probing photomechanical responses such as surface-pressure changes and surface-area changes upon exposure to light. These can be related to the molecular shape and orientation of the photochromics in the assembled structures.…”

There has been considerable interest in the application of photochromism to photo-responsive systems which has led to the development of new tailored smart materials for photonics and biomedical fields. Within a polymeric matrix photochromic isomerizations can be stimulated by light to reversibly alter the physical and chemical properties of a material such as LC phase, shape, surface wettability, permeability, solubility, self-assembly, size and fluorescence. The underlying principles behind photoresponsive behavior, subsequent applications and relevant examples are discussed in this review.
