- Abstract
This article, titled "A Molecular Rheology Dynamics Study on 3D Printing of Liquid Crystal Elastomers," explores the use of molecular dynamics simulations to study the behavior of liquid crystal (LC) moieties in a 6-arm LC elastomer under shear flow. The simulations validate experimental studies and demonstrate that LC moieties align in the direction of flow, perpendicular to the printing direction. Additionally, the application of shear flow induces interdigitation between the LC moieties. The authors of the article are Senay Ustunel, Harsh Pandya, Marianne E. Prévôt, Gisele Pegorin, Faeze Shiralipour, Rajib Paul, Robert J. Clements, Fardin Khabaz, and Elda Hegmann.
