We have reported an anisotropic shape change of azobenzene liquid-caystaliine gels (LC gets) in toluene. In this study, to investigate the photoresponsive mechanism of LC gels, the photoresponsive behavior of LC gels under various conditions was explored. LC gels showed an anisotropic shape change even in the absence of solvents. These results indicate that the photoresponsive mechanism of LC gels is not interactions between azobenzene moieties and solvents, but an anisotropic shrinkage due to difference of molecular distance between trans form and cis form of azobenzene.
