| Title: | Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal Elastomers (PDLCE) |
| Description: | This invention presents a method of producing liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) based components comprises the steps of (i) providing or creating micro-sized or nano-sized LCE particles, (ii) dispersing the particles in an uncured liquid polymer, (iii) aligning the nematic directors of the particles and, (iv) shaping and curing the matrix/particles mixture. The composite material formed by this method is a polymer dispersed liquid crystal elastomer (PDLCE) with custom-tailored properties which can be shaped into arbitrary forms. Also shown is liquid crystal elastomer based component. |
