Synthesis and characterisation of photoresponsive thermoplastic liquid crystal elastomers
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are polymeric materials capable of rapid, reversible shape change on application of an external stimulus. However, their application as soft actuators has, to date, been limited by the requirement to induce a liquid crystal monodomain, with common alignment methods r...
