| Popis: | Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) exhibit exotic mechanical behaviors such as reversible actuation, elevated loss tangent above the glass transition, and soft elasticity; however, LCEs have yet to be thoroughly investigated under high-strain cyclic loading. This study explores a main-chain polydomain nematic elastomer synthesized from a thiol-acrylate Michael-addition reaction in the nematic state. Low-strain (i.e. |
