Nanotube liquid crystal elastomers: photomechanical response and flexible energy conversion of layered polymer composites.
Elastomeric composites based on nanotube liquid crystals (LCs) that preserve the internal orientation of nanotubes could lead to anisotropic physical properties and flexible energy conversion. Using a simple vacuum filtration technique of fabricating nanotube LC films and utilizing a transfer process to poly (dimethyl) siloxane wherein the LC arrangement is preserved, here we demonstrate unique...
متن کاملAliphatic flexible spacer length controls photomechanical response in compact, ordered liquid crystalline polymer networks
The aliphatic spacer length connected to the rigid mesogenic cores is shown to control the structural organization and mechanical actuation in response to light-stimulus in azobenzene-functionalized liquid crystalline polymers networks. The spacer lengths in the mesogenic host (non-photochromic) and in the photo-active azobenzene-functionalized cross linker are parametrically varied to create m...

متن کاملA Traveling Wave Ultrasonic Motor Using Polymer-based Vibrator
Having natures of low speed, high torque and quick response characteristics, ultrasonic motors (USM) are applied in robot, precision machine and optical instruments. A lightweight actuator is essential to decrease the total weight and increase the operability. Although USMs, in general, are superior to conventional electromagnetic motor in torque/weight ratio, lighter motor is demanded. In this...
متن کاملTraveling-wave Modulator Using a Gelatin-based Eo Polymer Waveguide
An electrooptic intensity modulator using a gelatin-based EO polymer waveguide has been built and characterized. This EO modulator is constructed from a nitrophenol/gelatin guest/host poled polymer system. V and "33 of 25 V and 38 pm/V are obtained, respectively. This is the first demonstration of an active EO device using electrooptic gelatin. Integration of the modulator with a traveling-wave...
