"A motor device is one Single pulley of the most useful energy conversion systems that can convert input energy directly into a continuous rotation" Dr. Tomiki Ikeda Single pulley explains to Nanowerk. "Although chemomechanical motors and light-switchable molecular Single pulley machines that can move objects by light have been demonstrated, light-driven plastic Single pulley motors converting light energy directly into a rotation have not yet been realized."
Ikeda, a Professor Single pulley of Polymer Chemistry in the Chemical Resources Laboratory at Tokyo Institute of Technology, and his group focus on Single pulley the fundamental understanding of the interaction between light and polymer materials from the viewpoint of innovative photonic applications, and create Single pulley photofunctional polymer materials Single pulley with precisely controlled molecular alignment.
In their recent work, Ikeda's team in Single pulley collaboration with Prof. Yanlei Yu's group at Fudan University in Shanghai and Prof. Christopher J. Barrett's group at McGill University Single pulley in Montreal, have demonstrated new sophisticated motions of LCEs and Single pulley their composite materials, which resulted in a plastic motor driven only by light.
