Curvature by design and on demand in liquid crystal elastomers
Benjamin A. Kowalski, Cyrus Mostajeran, Nicholas P. Godman +2
The shape of liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) with spatial variation in the director orientation can be transformed by exposure to a stimulus. Here, informed by previously repo…
