  • Molecular simulations elucidate electric field actuation in swollen liquid crystal elastomers
    Skačej, Gregor ; Zannoni, Claudio
    Swollen elastomer liquid crystals undergo significant deformations by application of an electric field perpendicular to their alignment axis, as shown in experiments by Urayama et al. [Urayama K, ... Honda S, Takigawa T (2006) Macromolecules 39:1943-1949]. Here we clarify this surprising effect at the molecular level using largescale Monte Carlo simulations of an off-lattice model based on a soft Gay-Berne potential. We provide the internal change of molecular organization, as well as the key observables during the actuation cycle.
