Liquid-crystal order during synthesis affects main-chain liquid-crystal elastomer behavior
Abstract
This study presents the first direct comparison of the influence of liquid-crystal order during synthesis on the thermo-mechanical behaviors of main-chain liquid-crystal elastomers (LCEs) in thiol–acrylate networks.
