Abstract

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are a novel class of materials created by combining polymeric solids with stiff, rod-like molecules known as nematic mesogens. These materials exhibit large, reversible deformations under mechanical, thermal, and optical stimuli. In this work, we develop a nonlinear...
