Controlling permeation in electrically-deforming liquid crystal network films: a dynamical Landau theory
Guido L. A. Kusters, Nicholas B. Tito, Cornelis Storm +1
Liquid crystal networks exploit the coupling between the responsivity of liquid-crystalline mesogens, e.g., to electric fields, and the (visco)elastic properties of a polymer netwo…

Dynamical Landau-de Gennes Theory for Electrically-Responsive Liquid Crystal Networks
Guido L. A. Kusters, Inge P. Verheul, Nicholas B. Tito +2
Liquid crystal networks combine the orientational order of liquid crystals with the elastic properties of polymer networks, leading to a vast application potential in the field of…
