Liquid crystalline elastomer
text:
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are slightly crosslinked liquid crystalline polymer networks. These materials combine the entropy elasticity of an elastomer with the self-organization of the liquid crystalline phase. In liquid crystalline elastomers, the mesogens can either be part of the polymer chain or are attached via an alkyl spacer. Due to their actuation properties, liquid crystalline elastomers are attractive candidates for the use as artificial muscles or microrobots.
