n liquid crystalline elastomer materials
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) exhibit a number of remarkable physical effects, including the unique, high-stroke reversible mechanical actuation when triggered by external stimuli. This article reviews some recent exciting developments in the field of LCE materials with an emphasis on their utilization in actuator applications. Such applications include artificial muscles, industrial man...
متن کاملNanoparticle-Liquid Crystalline Elastomer Composites
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) exhibit a number of remarkable physical effects, including a uniquely high-stroke reversible mechanical actuation triggered by external stimuli. Fundamentally, all such stimuli affect the degree of liquid crystalline order in the polymer chains cross-linked into an elastic network. Heat and the resulting thermal actuation act by promoting entropic disorder, ...
متن کاملDeformation of a Polydomain, Smectic Liquid Crystalline Elastomer
A main-chain, polydomain, smectic liquid crystalline elastomer (LCE) was prepared by reacting the LC epoxy monomer, diglycidyl ether of 4,4′-dihydroxy-R-methylstilbene, with the aliphatic diacid, sebacic acid. When deformed in uniaxial tension, a “polydomain-to-monodomain” transition took place leading to bulk, macroscopic orientation. With this process was associated a plateau in the nominal s...

In a previous paper [I] we reported the structural study of new smectogenic molecules containing three distinct
متن کاملFerroelectric liquid crystalline polyoxetanes bearing chiral dimesogenic pendants
Two new polyoxetanes bearing dimesogenic pendants were prepared and their liquid crystalline properties were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing microscopy, and X-ray diffractometry. The dimesogens consist of cholesterol and biphenyl moieties connected through polymethylene spacers. Their biphenyl ends were attached to the oxetane monomer through a hexamethylene unit ...
