Localized soft elasticity in liquid crystal elastomers

Ruggedized stretchable electronic devices motivate the development of globally stretchable yet locally stiff materials. Here, Ware et al. programme the self-organization of liquid crystal elastomers to yield stretchable materials of homogenous composition but with spatial variation in mechanical pro...

Sumario:Ruggedized stretchable electronic devices motivate the development of globally stretchable yet locally stiff materials. Here, Ware et al. programme the self-organization of liquid crystal elastomers to yield stretchable materials of homogenous composition but with spatial variation in mechanical properties.
