Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Biological Applications

Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Biological Applications

The term liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) describes a class of materials that combine the elastic entropy behaviour associated with conventional elastomers with the stimuli responsive properties of anisotropic liquid crystals. LCEs consequently exhibit attributes of both elastomers and liquid crystals...
