Localized soft elasticity in liquid crystal elastomers
Synthetic approaches to prepare designer materials that localize deformation, by combining rigidity and compliance in a single material, have been widely sought. Bottom-up approaches, such as the self-organization of liquid crystals, offer potential advantages over top-down patterning methods such as photolithographic control of crosslink density, relating to the ease of preparation and fidelit...
متن کاملModeling liquid crystal elastomers: actuators, pumps, and robots
We model the dynamics of shape evolution of liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) in three dimensions using finite element elastodynamics. The model predicts the macroscopic mechanical response induced by changes in nematic order, e.g. by heating or cooling through the isotropic/nematic transition or, in azo-doped materials, by exposure to light. We model the performance of LCE actuator devices inclu...
متن کاملSoft Elasticity in Main Chain Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Main chain liquid crystal elastomers exhibit several interesting phenomena, such as three different regimes of elastic response, unconventional stress-strain relationship in one of these regimes, and the shape memory effect. Investigations are beginning to reveal relationships between their macroscopic behavior and the nature of domain structure, microscopic smectic phase structure, relaxation ...

That does sound stressful. It is. And it is getting worse. When I started out, I wrote a total of 17 proposals to different agencies before I obtained funding. But that was back when the funding levels were reasonable — with paylines at the 20–30% level, and you could resubmit twice. When I finally did get funding, I barely made the cutoff, and that on my third try. Now the paylines are signifi...
