Stimuli-responsive polymer film or coating prepared by mixing in a suitable fashion a side chain liquid crystalline polymer with reactive mesogens and responsive devices: process for preparing the same [PDF]
The limitation of the different classes of responsive liquid crystals such as volatility in case of low molecular weight liquid crystals (LMWLCs) can be overcome by the development of a responsive film based on polymerliquid crystals (PLCs) and reactive ...
