Synthesis of photoresponsive liquid crystal elastomers: a general chemical approach
This work presents a general strategy for integrating photoresponsive molecules into liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) using Diels–Alder chemistry. The method introduces various photochromes, offering a scalable route for multifunctional LCEs.
