Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) exhibit unique mechanical properties of soft elasticity and
reversible shape‐changing behaviors, and so serve as potentially transformative materials …

We consider the stability of a hyperelastic substrate coated by a liquid crystal elastomer film
and subjected to compressive forces. In this problem, the liquid crystal elastomer directors …

Herein, the adjustable dual stimulus-responsive fluorescent chiral liquid crystal elastomers
(FCLCEs) were firstly obtained by combining new fluorescent molecule dibenzo [b, d] furan …

We model within the framework of finite elasticity two inherent instabilities observed in liquid
crystal elastomers under uniaxial tension. First is necking, which occurs when a material …

Abstract Liquid Crystalline Elastomers (LCEs) are thermosets that belong to the family of
“smart plastics”. They combine the softness and elasticity of elastomers, with the …
