This project develops liquid-crystalline elastomers for practical actuator applications, leveraging their unique properties for use in fields like biomedical engineering and robotics. It focuses on creating materials that can be activated by light or heat for various innovative uses.
The idea of mechanical actuator based on intrinsic material properties of liquid-crystalline elastomers (rather than complex engineering of interacting components) has been understood for 20+ years.
The remarkable characteristics of LCE actuation (fully reversible action; large-amplitude, with a stroke of 5%-300%; stress-strain-speed response almost exactly matching the human muscle) make it highly attractive in biomedical engineering, robotics, smart textiles, and other fields.
