Light-melt adhesive based on dynamic carbon frameworks in a columnar liquid-crystal phase
Liquid crystals are used in many applications, such as removable adhesives, but this requires both good bonding strength, and its rapid disappearance under an external stimulus. Here, Saito and others report a dynamic liquid crystal material that loses is bonding strength under photo irradiation.
