Regulating Topographical Deformation Response of Liquid Crystal Coatings by Electrical Quenching of Liquid Crystal Order Fluctuation

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
The suppression effect of electrical order quenching on the actuation of liquid crystal (LC) polymers is revealed. The LCs are aligned into homeotropic alignment, but with high electric field strength, to quench the order fluctuation of LCs. By engineering the electrode structures, invertible surface topography can be afforded taking advantage of this ...
