Abstract: Thermochromic poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) photonic crystal gels based on 1D magnetically assembling colloidal nanocrystal clusters have attracted much attention due to its convenient preparation process, striking color response, and good mechanical strength. However, there remain… read more here.

Abstract: We investigate the thermal bending behavior of liquid crystal gels with hybrid alignment (H-LCGs) accompanied by volume change in isotropic and nematic solvents. The curvature (r-1) of H-LCGs in each solvent markedly depends on the… read more here.
