Fluorescent robust photoactuator via photo-crosslinking induced single-layered janus polyimide by Shuyu Xue, Zhipanxin Shi, Zaiyu Wang, Haozhe Tan, Feng Gao, Zicong Zhang, Ziyue Ye, Shifeng Nian, Ting Han, Jianbo Zhang, Zheng Zhao, Ben Zhong Tang, Qiuyu Zhang

“…Then the fluorescent robust photoactuators with single-layered janus structure were directly obtained via UV assisted photo-crosslinking of the films, exhibiting reversible response driven by a pronounced mismatch in expansion between the front and back sides of the films. Achieving selective, non-uniform spatial distribution within the PI films, rapid and reversible complex morphing of the actuators, along with the capabilities for encrypting, reading, and erasing fluorescent information—all through the use of a single UV light source—becomes straightforward. …”
