Preparation and characterisation of liquid crystal elastomer films with selective reflectivity [PDF]

open access: yesLiquid Crystals, 2023
In this paper, the liquid crystal elastomer films (A’BG series) have been prepared by grafting polymerisation, using the 4-allyloxybenzoic acid cholesteryl ester (MB) as liquid crystal monomer, dodecane-1,12-diyl bis(undec-10-enoate) (MG) as flexible ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomer Electric Locomotives

ACS Macro Letters, 2020
In this letter, we present an electro-driven cylindrical actuator system composed of a bilayered liquid crystal elastomer/carbon black (LCE/CB) electro-driven soft actuator and a conductive track. The bilayered LCE/CB electro-driven actuator consists of an inner LCE circular band and several U-shaped CB conductive regions stuck on the outer surface of ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomers

2003
Abstract Liquid crystals are fluids with a directionality defined. Polymers are long molecules with a shape that can be changed. As a network, polymers form rubber - a soft solid that is locally liquid-like and capable of huge extension.

Transitions and instabilities in liquid crystal elastomers

Physical Review E, 1993
Solid nematic liquids, formed by cross-linking polymer liquid crystals into elastomers, are shown to display novel and complex elasticity. The internal (nematic) direction suffers a barrier to its rotation and this couples to standard elasticity. By considering imposed strains we illuminate this elasticity and also demonstrate an entirely new nematic ...
