Anisotropic Swelling Behavior of Liquid Crystal Elastomers in Isotropic Solvents

Anisotropic Swelling Behavior of Liquid Crystal Elastomers in Isotropic Solvents

The chemical response of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) offers substantial potential for applications in propulsion systems, micromechanical systems, and active smart surfaces. However, the shape-changing behaviors of LCEs in response to organic (isotropic) solvents remain scarcely explored, with...
