Electric-Field-Induced Deformation Caused by Electroclinic and Flexoelectric Effects in Liquid Crystalline Elastomer with Wedge-Shaped Mesogens Derived from Cholesterol
Summary
Mechanical responses to electric stimulation in a liquid crystalline elastomer composed of cholesterol-derived mesogens were investigated. An electric-field-induced polar deformation resembling the motion of the flukes of a dolphin was observed in the te
