Textures and shapes in nematic elastomers under the action of dopant concentration gradients
A. P. Zakharov, L. M. Pismen
We explore a novel strategy of patterning nematic elastomers that does not require inscribing the texture directly. It is based on varying the dopant concentration that, beside shi…

Flexible helical yarn swimmers
A. P. Zakharov, A. M. Leshansky, L. M. Pismen
We investigate the motion of a flexible Stokesean flagellar swimmer realised as a yarn made of two intertwined elastomer fibres, one active, that can reversibly change its length i…
