Abstract: ABSTRACT Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are stimuli-responsive materials allowing for pre-programed shape changing via precisely tailoring spatially variant orientation, or the director of the liquid crystal mesogens. A considerable challenge remains on fabricating micron-sized LCE… read more here.
