Dynamics of Liquid Crystal Elastomers

2003
Abstract Among various dynamical properties of polymeric materials, an important and most fre-quently encountered is their mechanics. The equilibrium response of liquid crystalline elastomers can be soft or hard depending on the relation between the imposed strains and the nematic director, in particular, if the director is able to ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomers and Light

2012
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are solid liquid crystals; they combine elasticity with orientational order. Mechanical strain therefore changes liquid crystalline order and the optical properties of these materials. Conversely, light can change the orientational order, and give rise to mechanical forces and changes in shape. Light–matter interactions

Photoresponsive Liquid Crystal Elastomers

2016
In this chapter, one very interesting function of azo polymers is discussed, which is unique for the azobenzene-containing liquid crystal polymers with light cross-linking. These azo polymer networks, which are classified as azo liquid crystal elastomers, show many interesting properties and potential applications in actuators, shape memory, and others.
