VIANNEY GIMENEZ PROF. PETER PALFFY-MUHORAY LCE swelling experiment

Liquid Crystal Elastomer LC elastomers are polymer networks formed by cross linking liquid crystalline polymers. These polymers are typically connected to rod like molecules that distort the conformation of the polymer

Fabrication of samples Principal compounds Liquid Crystal Nematic Mesogen Polymer-Backbone Cross linker Toluene Catalyzer Preheated centrifugation around 60 min Stretching the elastomer for induced alignment. Wash and Bake the elastomer

Liquid Crystal Elastomer Coupling between strain and nematic tensor in free energy

Swelling mismatch Previous work. “Swelling Dynamics and Related Phenomena in NematicElastomers” P. Palffy-Muhoray, P. Luchette, et al LCE in liquid solvent is more swollen than in vapor! Swelling should be the same in liquid solvent and vapor solvent. There is coexistance so chemical potencial should be the same

Experimental Setup We registered the swelling of an elastomer as a function of time in presence of toluene vapor Pictures registered the change in the elastomer sample geometry

Future work Apply the studies to elastomers of different geometries. Make a more uniform exposure of the elastomer to the toluene vapor Study the reaction of a Poly-domain LC elastomer.
