摘要

Liquid-crystal elastomers (LCEs) combine the properties of liquid crystals (LCs) and rubber elasticity. They are unique materials in their ability to change shape spontaneously by large degrees as a consequence of their global orientational (nematic) or combined orientational/positional (smectic) order. LCE systems are thermo-tropic, and may also be responsive to light, magnetic fields, or electric fields. They have possible uses as artificial muscles or sensors in addition to being intriguing materials for basic research.rnBent-core nematic LCs (BCNs) are a relatively new class of mesogenic materials (compared to their calamitic-or rod-shaped-cousins). They exhibit both rich phase behavior and novel properties; they also hold the potential of fundamentally new technological applications. In particular, some BCNs have recently been shown to exhibit a giant flexoelectric effect (electric polarization induced by orientational distortion of the average direction of molecular alignment). Since the reported flexoelectric coefficients are some three orders of magnitude larger than standard calamitics, these BCNs have exciting potential for applications ranging from power generation to sensing.
