Photo-Responsive Liquid Crystal Elastomer Coils Inspired by Tropism Movements of Plants
Plant tendrils exhibit intriguing tropism motions like bending, twisting, and coiling. Herein, we report the application of a liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) to make a light-sensitive and biomimetic coil to replicate behaviors of plant tendrils. The LCE coil consists of diacrylate azobenzene, diacryl...
