Research shows deformations in liquid crystal elastomers are influenced by orientation within polymer networks, implying potential for advanced materials.
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are versatile materials capable of reversible, large-scale deformations in response to external stimuli. The orientation of the liquid crystal mesogens within the polymer network significantly impacts...
