We prepared 2 types of crosslinked liquid-crystalline polymers (CLCPs) (polyacrylates) with the same side-chain length but a different position of an azobenzene moiety in the side chain. We evaluated photoinduced deformation behavior of the CLCP films and photoisomerization behavior of azobenzene in the films at cryogenic temperature. Azobenzene moieties in both CLCP films showed no trans-cis isomerization and neither film exhibited bending behavior upon irradiation with UV light in liquid nitrogen [77 K]. On the other hand, when the film included azobenzene with a long spacer and a short tail, cis-trans isomerization of azobenzene and photoinduced deformation were observed in liquid nitrogen.
