A review papaer on the shape programming methods of LCEs was published in Communication Chemistry journal! More can be found on the bottom link.
The study on the crosslinker concentration on the thermomechanical response of main-chain LCEs was published in Materials Research Express, titled "Thermomechanical response of liquid crystal elastomers: role of crosslinker density".
We are happy to report that our newest study was published in Nature Communications! Read more about the new paper "Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal elastomers as moldable shape-programmable material" at the bottom link.
We are excited to see our first study from the new project published in Materials and Design with the title of "Shear flow-controlled shape memory of polymer resin dispersed liquid crystal elastomer microparticles"
Our proposed project on PDLCE materials with the title "Magnetic, electric and stress – field programming of shape response in polymer-dispersed liquid crystal elastomers – based actuators" was approved by the Slovenian research agency (ARRS).
