[CANCELLED] Actuators and robots in milli- and micro-scale based on photoresponsive polymers
In my group for a few years we have been using liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) to make various moving elements and systems driven by light. By controlling the molecular arrangement in a polymer structure we can design the light-induced deformation which can be reversible and fast. I will present a few recent designs and outline our current and future projects.
