摘要
En 中文
Liquid crystalline elastomers are regarded as a kind of desirable soft actuator material for soft robotics and other high-tech areas. The isotropization temperature (T-i) plays an important role as it determines the actuation temperature and other properties, which in turn has a great effect on their applications. In the past, the common physical methods (e.g. annealing) to tune T-i is not applicable to tune the actuation temperature. The new T-i obtained by annealing immediately goes back to the old one once it is heated to a temperature above T-i,T- while actuation needs a temperature higher than T-i. For a fully cross-linked LCE material, once it is synthesized, the actuation temperature is fixed. Accordingly, the actuation temperature can not be tuned unless the chemical structure is changed, which usually needs to start from the very beginning of the molecular design and material synthesis. Here, we found that different T-i achieved by annealing can be preserved by reversible reactions of dynamic covalent bonds in covalently adaptable LC networks including LC vitrimers. Thus, a variety of soft actuators with different actuation temperatures can be obtained from the same fully cross-linked LCE material. As the tuning of T-i is also reversible, the same actuator can be adjusted for applications with different actuation temperature requirements. Such tuning will also expand the application of LCEs. Isotropization temperature determines the temperature at which Liquid Crystals Elastomer (LCE) material actuates. Here, the authors give a general strategy based on dynamic covalent bonds for tuning the isotropization temperature for LCEs.
