UV-Manipulation of Order and Macroscopic Shape in Nematic Elastomers
P. M. Hogan, A. R. Tajbakhsh, E. M. Terentjev
A range of monodomain nematic liquid crystal elastomers containing differing proportions of photo-isomerisable mesogenic moieties, which turn from a rod-like to a kinked shape upon…

A Tube Model of Rubber Elasticity
S. Kutter, E. M. Terentjev
Polymer entanglements lead to complicated topological constraints and interactions between neighbouring chains in a dense solution or melt. Entanglements can be treated in a mean f…

Cellular solid behaviour of liquid crystal colloids. 1. Phase separation and morphology
V. J. Anderson, E. M. Terentjev, S. P. Meeker +2
We study the phase ordering colloids suspended in a thermotropic nematic liquid crystal below the clearing point Tni and the resulting aggregated structure. Small (150nm) PMMA part…
