Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Electrically Driven Soft Actuators

<p>A multifunctional liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), an anisotropic gels, with large mechanical and optical effects in applied electric fields is investigated, when LCEs are swollen in a low molecular weight liquid crystal, 4-n-pentyl-4- cyanobiphenyl (SCB), a nematic solvent. This suggests...
