Optocapillarity-driven assembly and reconfiguration of liquid crystal polymer actuators
When floating at the air water interface, the shape of objects determines their capillary menisci and mutual interaction. Hu et al. show how dynamically changing shapes of liquid-crystal polymer actuators can be used to achieve optically controlled and reconfigurable assembly.
