Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences Science & Technology
A single layer, mono-component, fast, stable, and controllable curling motion actuator is prepared from a mixture of di-acrylate mesogenic monomer and 5CB using a photo-polymerization induced phase separation method. This actuator is capable of sensing water in acetone.
