Shear flow-controlled shape memory of polymer resin dispersed liquid crystal elastomer microparticles

Thermomechanically active shape-programmable elastomer microparticles are very promising for development of particulate composites with unique operational properties, which could be attractive for various applications, e.g., in 3D printing. Liquid crystal elastomers are one of the suitable candidate...
