چکیده
Mechano-Optical Sensors In article number 2104702, Osamu Tsutsumi and co-workers report a multilayered concept for tuning the recovery response of cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers, enabling flexible, stretchable, sensitive mechano-optical sensor with on-demand spatiotemporal resolution. The mechanical strain imposed on can be visualized quantified using commercially available camera as well naked eye.

متن کاملLiquid Crystal Elastomers
PREFACE Liquid crystals are unusual materials. As their name suggests, they inhabit the grey area between liquids and solids. They have long range orientational order, typically of the unique axes of their component rod-like or plate molecules. Spatial variations of this average direction of molecular orientation are resisted by so-called curvature (Frank) elasticity. On the other hand liquid c...
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...
متن کاملTunable lasing in cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers with accurate measurements of strain
We report wide range and reversible tuning of the selective reflection band of a single crystal cholesteric liquid crystal elastomer (CLCE). The tuning is the result of mechanical shortening of the helical pitch achieved by imposing a uniform uniaxial strain along the helical axis. On doping the CLCE sample with a laser dye, we observe lasing from the CLCE in both glassy and rubbery states. By ...
