Abstract

In biomechanical and mechanobiological applications, the ability of photo-activatable materials to change properties in response to a light (photo) stimulus offers key potential advantages over other activatable materials. Not only can photo-activatable materials be used in close contact or proximity to cells and tissues without the cells or tissues being affected by the photostimulus, but photo-activatable materials also offer a level of spatiotemporal control unavailable with many other forms of smart material triggering, such as ambient heating or hydration. This chapter will give an overview of photo-activatable materials that have been developed to study cell biomechanics and mechanobiology and discuss future potential applications for these promising materials.
