Soft elasticity optimises dissipation in 3D-printed liquid crystal elastomers

Soft elasticity optimises dissipation in 3D-printed liquid crystal elastomers

Soft-elasticity in monodomain liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) is promising for impact-absorbing applications but due to the lack of synthetic procedures which give monodomain devices of sufficient size, impact studies on LCEs have not been performed. Here the authors use direct-ink writing to fabri...

Soft elasticity optimises dissipation in 3D-printed liquid crystal elastomers
description Soft-elasticity in monodomain liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) is promising for impact-absorbing applications but due to the lack of synthetic procedures which give monodomain devices of sufficient size, impact studies on LCEs have not been performed. Here the authors use direct-ink writing to fabricate bulk monodomain LCE devices and study their compressive soft-elasticity.
