Reconfigurable Antennas Using Liquid Crystalline Elastomers

Reconfigurable Antennas Using Liquid Crystalline Elastomers

This dissertation demonstrates the design of reversibly self-morphing novel liquid crystalline elastomer (LCE) antennas that can dynamically change electromagnetic performance in response to temperature. This change in performance can be achieved by programming the shape change of stimuli-responsive...
