Enabling liquid crystal elastomers with tunable actuation temperature
Abstract Liquid crystalline elastomers are regarded as a kind of desirable soft actuator material for soft robotics and other high-tech areas. The isotropization temperature (Ti) plays an important role as it determines the actuation temperature and other properties, which in turn has a great effect...
