Liquid Crystal Functionalization of Electrospun Polymer Fibers
A recently introduced new branch of applied polymer science is the production of highly functional and responsive fiber mats by means of electrospinning polymers that include liquid crystals. The liquid crystal, which provides the responsiveness, is most often contained inside fibers of core-sheath geometry, produced via coaxial electrospinning, but it may also be inherent to the polymer itself...
متن کاملElectrospun Composite Liquid Crystal Elastomer Fibers
We present a robust method to prepare thin oriented nematic liquid crystalline elastomer-polymer (LCE-polymer) core-sheath fibers. An electrospinning setup is utilized to spin a single solution of photo-crosslinkable low molecular weight reactive mesogens and a support polymer to form the coaxial LCE-polymer fibers, where the support polymer forms the sheath via in situ phase separation as the ...
متن کاملElectrospun Polymer Fibers for Electronic Applications
Nano- and micro- fibers of conjugated polymer semiconductors are particularly interesting both for applications and for fundamental research. They allow an investigation into how electronic properties are influenced by size confinement and chain orientation within microstructures that are not readily accessible within thin films. Moreover, they open the way to many applications in organic elect...
متن کاملThermotropic Liquid Crystalline Polymer Fibers
Super-strength, lightweight materials used in bullet-proof vests, high-performance cables and tires, and stealth airplanes are built from liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) bers. The remarkable strength properties are dominated by molecular alignment achieved as a result of the complex interactions at play in ber processes. The ber manufacturing process begins with a high temperature liquid phase...
متن کاملPolymer-dispersed liquid crystal elastomers
The need for mechanical manipulation during the curing of conventional liquid crystal elastomers diminishes their applicability in the field of shape-programmable soft materials and future applications in additive manufacturing. Here we report on polymer-dispersed liquid crystal elastomers, novel composite materials that eliminate this difficulty. Their thermal shape memory anisotropy is imprin...
