Abstract
Photomobile polymer (Pmp) films are fabricated by using a cheap and fast process. The working mechanism of the Pmp-film motion under illumination is explained. Details concerning the film structure and formation are given. Two related applications regarding light-induced caterpillar-miming motion and photocontrolled electrical switches are proposed.
