Liquid Crystalline Elastomers: Microstructured Photopolymerization of Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Oxygen‐Rich Environments (Adv. Funct. Mater. 40/2019)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 1903761, Timothy J. White and co-workers employ two-photon polymerization to prepare hybrid micro-patterned actuators from liquid crystal elastomers. Photocationic polymerization of liquid crystalline epoxides are not affected by ambient oxygen, enabling the preparation of multimaterial composite actuators and conducive to numerous additive manufacturing methods (Image courtesy of Joselle M. McCracken).
