Ferroelectric liquid‐crystalline elastomers
Source abstract
Abstract
Liquid‐crystalline (LC) elastomers, which combine the properties of LC phases and the rubber‐like elasticity of polymer networks, are of particular interest when the LC phases exhibit ferroelectric properties. Recent work is described on monodomains of chiral smectic C elastomers produced by photo‐crosslinking. These materials are being investigated for potential applications as self‐poling piezoelements and pyrodetectors.
