The effect of templating on the mechanical properties of smectic liquid crystal elastomers
In this work, the effect of phase templating on the mechanical properties of smectic liquid crystal elastomers is examined. Samples polymerised in the nematic phase show markedly different properties to those polymerised in the smectic phase.
