Geometrically insensitive deform-and-go liquid crystal elastomer actuators through controlled radical diffusion
Abstract The geometric shape and programming of mesogen alignment are two critical prerequisites for the effective actuation of liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) actuators. However, existing alignment programming approaches inevitably impose limitations on the geometric design of LCEs. In this study, w...
