Light-responsive polymers offer unique possibilities for anisotropic manipulation of objects on the micron scale.Here we demonstrate the reversible anisotropic stretching of a polymeric surface made out HAIR LOSS of an azopolymer-elastomer blend, in response to green laser irradiation with varying polarization.We quantify the stretching parameters and the residual strain after relaxation by means of a Fourier-based Anti-Perspirant analysis, which exploits a periodic 2D pattern imprinted onto the surface.
