Shape-Switchable Liquid-Crystal Polymer Actuators with Light-Induced Shape Memory Effect

Shape-Switchable Liquid-Crystal Polymer Actuators with Light-Induced Shape Memory Effect

The initial shape of a soft actuator plays a vital role in its functional performance as it dictates the internal stress distribution and deformation pathway during the actuation process. Photodeformable liquid-crystal polymers (LCPs) have demonstrated significant potential in soft actuators due to...
