Liquid crystal elastomers [PDF]

, 2011
The graduation work presents liquid crystal elastomers (LCE), which are made from liqid crystals and elastomers. Their main microscopic properties are orientation, positional order and the smectic order to the layer normal.

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

Electroresponsive Ionic Liquid Crystal Elastomers

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2019
AbstractThis paper describes the preparation, physical properties, and electric bending actuation of a new class of active materials—ionic liquid crystal elastomers (iLCEs). It is demonstrated that iLCEs can be actuated by low‐frequency AC or DC voltages of less than 1 V.

Thermomechanical response of liquid crystal elastomers: role of crosslinker density

Materials Research Express
In this work thermomechanical properties of main-chain liquid crystal elastomers (MC-LCEs) with different degrees of crosslinking were investigated, and gradual loss of thermomechanical response was observed on repetitive measurements.
