About
Matthias Lehmann’s research lies at the intersection of soft matter physics and photochemistry, with a focus on developing light-responsive materials for applications in soft robotics and biology. His major contributions center on designing liquid crystalline polymer networks (LCNs) that bend reversibly under visible light, overcoming the limitations of UV-driven systems. In his most-cited work (2023, 15 citations), Lehmann demonstrated how tetra-ortho-fluorinated azobenzene monomers can shift absorption into the visible range, enabling safer, more practical photomechanical films. This innovation combines photothermal and photomechanical effects, offering precise control over material deformation without harmful UV exposure. His work has been recognized for its potential to advance biocompatible actuators and adaptive surfaces. With a growing citation impact, Lehmann continues to push the boundaries of molecular design in stimuli-responsive polymers, making him a key figure in the development of next-generation smart materials.
