Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of Active Nematic Elastomers

Active nematic elastomers are a class of active materials that possess the elasticity of a rubber, and the orientational symmetry of a liquid crystal. Their constituent elements are typically elongated, cross-linked and active. The cross-linking of the elements leads to an elasticity that prevents t...
