| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to gain information about the mechanism of photoinduced mass transport, we investigated the photoinduced changes in phase-separated structures of the hybrid films of azobenzene-based amorphous molecular materials with poly(vinyl acetate) and inidazolium salts. We have found that the domain structures formed in the phase-separated films were changed upon irradiation with the polarized laser beam. In addition, we investigated photoinduced changes in the shape of particles of azobenzene-based amorphous molecular materials fixed in agar gel and found that the particles were elongated parallel to the polarization direction of the incident beams. Photoinduced structural changes of the films of azobenzene-based amorphous molecular materials prepared on the surface of the agar gel were also found. The present study provided valuable information regarding the mechanism of photoinduced mass transport and indicated potential for development of photo-driven micromachines.
