Shape memory effect exhibited by smectic-C liquid crystalline elastomers.
It was long expected and recently shown that main-chain liquid crystalline elastomers (MC-LCEs) may serve as high performance soft actuators due to a coupling of their intrinsic characteristics of high, yet labile, ordering and network strain. Here, we present the synthesis of new siloxane-based smectic MC-LCEs. These new materials exhibit a unique thermomechanical behavior known as the shape m...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of side chain liquid crystal polymer molecules in isotropic and liquid-crystalline melts.
A detailed molecular dynamics simulation study is described for a polysiloxane side chain liquid crystal polymer (SCLCP). The simulations use a coarse-grained model composed of a combination of isotropic and anisotropic interaction sites. On cooling from a fully isotropic polymer melt, we see spontaneous microphase separation into polymer-rich and mesogen-rich regions. Upon application of a sma...
متن کاملElectron Spin Resonance Studies of Anisotropic Ordering, Spin Relaxation, and Slow Tumbling in Liquid Crystalline Solvents. 3. Smecticd
In this work the nonaxial ordering and spin relaxation of PD-Tempone spin probe in several liquid crystalline solvents exhibiting smectic A and B phases were studied utilizing methods previously employed by Polnaszek and Freed for the study of nematic liquid crystals. The results rleported here for the isotropic and nematic phases are generally in accord with those obtained previously. An analy...
متن کاملPyroelectric Liquid Crystal Materials for Uncooled Ir Sensors
We have developed new ferroelectric liquid crystalline materials with large pyroelectric coefficients (p). Data on p have been obtained using the Byer-Roundy technique that allows a direct determination of p by ramping the temperature of the sample at a fixed rate. Our results show that the liquid crystalline materials developed by us exhibit p values in the range of 30-150 nC/cmK without any a...
متن کاملMain-chain smectic liquid-crystalline polymers as randomly disordered systems.
We report a high-resolution X-ray lineshape study of main-chain smectic polymers. The results indicate that the layer ordering differs fundamentally from the algebraic decay typical for other smectic liquid-crystalline systems. The lineshapes are best described by broad squared Lorentzians indicating some form of short-range correlations. However, several higher harmonics are observed, which ex...
