The effect of alignment on the rate-dependent behavior of a main-chain liquid crystal elastomer
Abstract
This study investigated the effect of alignment on the rate-dependent behavior of a main-chain liquid crystal elastomer (LCE). 3D-DIC was used to track the strain field and showed heterogeneous regions of strain from meson relaxation.
