Self-Assembled Liquid Crystal Polymer Gels
The combination of liquid crystals (LCs) with polymer networks results in fascinating materials in which the elasticity of the polymer network is coupled to LC order, and they hold promise for a variety of applications which depend on an optical or a mechanical response to external stimuli. Unfortun...
