 E-Mail IMAGE: The UV-induced deformation of the polycinnamate was analyzed by time-resolved IR spectroscopy, and it was confirmed that photoexpansion occurred based on the trans-to-cis isomerization of main chain cinnamate units.... view more  Credit: Image courtesy: Tatsuo Kaneko and Kenji Takada from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. A phenomenon of "photoexpansion" in hard plastic films with a high glass transition temperature in the dry state was established, which was essentially different from very soft actuators, such as elastomers or gels. The photoexpandi...

UCLA March 4, 2021 Seventeen researchers at UCLA have been named recipients of awards from the 2020 UCLA Innovation Fund Biomedical Competition. These awards, up to $200,000 per project, support early stage research that lead to commercialization activities, which usually aren’t supported by basic research grants. As a result, researchers can develop their technologies to a point where the chances of success are greatly increased.
