Nematic elastomers with aligned carbon nanotubes: new electromechanical actuators
S. Courty, J. Mine, A. R. Tajbakhsh +1
We demonstrate, for the first time, the large electromechanical response in nematic liquid crystalline elastomers filled with a very low (~0.01%) concentration of carbon nanotubes,…

Stereo-selective swelling of imprinted cholesteric networks
S. Courty, A. R. Tajbakhsh, E. M. Terentjev
Molecular chirality, and the chiral symmetry breaking of resulting macroscopic phases, can be topologically imprinted and manipulated by crosslinking and swelling of polymer networ…
