Review of Liquid Crystal Elastomers
2020Chapter 20 reviews liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), first discussed by Finkelmann. These materials can be used as robotic actuators via inducing a nematic–isotropic phase transition in them upon a temperature increase, which causes them to shrink, as described in a thorough review on these intelligent multi-functional materials by Brand and Finkelmann.

Chirality in Liquid Crystal Elastomers
2006The coupling between the properties of conventional polymer networks and the properties of chiral liquid crystalline phases results in interesting, new opto- and electromechanical effects of the chiral liquid crystalline elastomers, as demonstrated by theoretical considerations and experiments.

Liquid Crystal Elastomers and Light
2012Liquid 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
