Abstract

Abstract : A self-healing photoinduced-deformable polymeric material using multivalent hydrogen bonds as cross-linkers was successfully fabricated. Abstract : Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) using multivalent hydrogen bonds as cross-linkers were successfully fabricated, which showed both self-healing and photoinduced-deformable properties. More interestingly, this LCE could be readily molded into different shapes through a versatile and efficient procedure, and the fibrous and filmy samples showed different photoinduced-deformable behavior originating from the difference in molecular orientations.
