Robust thermoelastic microactuator based on an organic molecular crystal

Molecular crystals that show a reversible shape change by external stimuli are invaluable for the design of actuators but their strong deformations usually lead to their destruction. Here the authors report a fluorenone derivative showing a strong, reversible and instantaneous shear deformation upon...

Sumario:Molecular crystals that show a reversible shape change by external stimuli are invaluable for the design of actuators but their strong deformations usually lead to their destruction. Here the authors report a fluorenone derivative showing a strong, reversible and instantaneous shear deformation upon heating due to a structural phase transition.
