Description
Summary:<p>A multifunctional liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), an anisotropic gels, with large<br /> mechanical :lnd optical effects in applied electric fields is investigated, when LCEs are swollen in a low molecular weight liquid crystal, 4-n-pentyl-4- cyanobiphenyl (5CB), a nematic solvent. This suggests the possibility of broad application as field-induced-opticalactuator devices.</p>
