Light-Fueled Nanoscale Surface Waving in Chiral Liquid Crystal Networks

Alexander Ryabchun et al.

Summary: Nano- and micro-actuating systems have great potential in various applications, and light-responsive cholesteric liquid crystal networks can exhibit waving motion of surface topography upon irradiation, controlled by tuning the geometry of liquid crystal structures. This work demonstrates the possibility of using self-organizing systems to engineer dynamic materials with nanoscale precision.

Translating 2D Director Profile to 3D Topography in a Liquid Crystal Polymer

Pengrong Lv et al.

Summary: The paper presents a method based on molecular self-assembling of liquid crystal polymers to directly translate 2D molecular director profiles into 3D topographies without multi-step lithographic processes. By activating LCPs through an electric field, surface deformation can occur to induce topographies governed by the director profile. The approach opens new opportunities for optical and electrical applications.
