Geometry-Dependent Adhesion in Transparent, Monodomain Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Aidan Street, Devesh Mistry, Johan Mattsson +1
Elastomeric pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) form adhesive bonds under light pressure. Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are exciting PSA candidates as they can impart both aniso…
Soft-Elasticity Optimises Dissipation in 3D-Printed Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Devesh Mistry, Nicholas A. Traugutt, Brett Sanborn +7
Soft-elasticity in monodomain liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) is promising for impact-absorbing applications where strain energy is ideally absorbed at constant stress. Convention…
Coincident Molecular Auxeticity and Negative Order Parameter in a Liquid Crystal Elastomer
Devesh Mistry, Simon D. Connell, Stuart L. Micklethwaite +3
"Auxetic" materials have the counter-intuitive property of expanding rather than contracting perpendicular to an applied stretch, formally they have negative Poisson's Ratios (PRs)…
