Cobalt-Catalysed Chain Transfer Polymerisation Enables Soft Methacrylate Nematic Elastomers for Switchable Pressure-Sensitive Adhesion

Noboru Koshimizu, Mohand O. Saed

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) exhibit unique viscoelastic behavior arising from reversible liquid-crystalline ordering, making them attractive candidates for switchable pressure…

Mechanism of pressure sensitive adhesion in nematic elastomers

Hongye Guo, Mohand O. Saed, Eugene M. Terentjev

Nematic liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) have anomalously high vibration damping, and it has been assumed this is the cause of their anomalously high pressure-sensitive adhesion (P…

Softening of the Hertz indentation contact in nematic elastomers

Ameneh Maghsoodi, Mohand O. Saed, Eugene M. Terentjev +1

Polydomain liquid crystalline (nematic) elastomers have highly unusual mechanical properties, dominated by the dramatically non-linear stress-strain response that reflects stress-i…
