Abstract

Photoresponsive hydrogels with high performance are of considerable interest because of their wide application. In this paper, a kind of smart poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel is obtained using 4, 4′-azodibenzoic acid as cross-link agent. The hydrogels have the ability of swelling and shrinking reversibly under irradiation by ultraviolet or visible light because azobenzene groups show trans–cis isomerization under suitable light wavenumber. Under UV irradiation, azobenzene takes the cis structure which leads to volume decreases; macroscopically, shrinking can be observed. Under visible light irradiation, the volume recovers, and swelling can be observed macroscopically. Hydrogels have excellent swelling/shrinking recovery properties even after 12 cycles. The procedure achieves loop control of the transformation from light energy to mechanical energy.
