Thermo-mechanicaleffects of dry main-chainliquid crystal elastomers(MC-LCEs) with the different concentration of crosslinkers 2.5%. 6 % and 12 %, as a junction of temperature has been investigated. As temperature increase, the length of MC-LECs monotonically shrinks parallel to the directorll n, while it expands perpendicular to 1..nwith a somewhat faster decrease in the vicinity of the apparent nematic-isotropic transition temperature, T" |
