研究了一种多功能主链型液晶弹性体（MCLCE）在低分子量液晶4-正戊基-4-氰基联苯（4-n-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl）溶剂中的溶胀行为，该弹性体在外加电场下具有较大的力学效应和光学效应。由场效应引起的尺寸变化与透射率变化成线性比例。这表明作为场致光学致动器装置的广泛应用的可能性。
A multifunctional main chain liquid crystal elastomer (MCLCE) with large mechanical and optical effects in applied electric fields is investigated, when MCLCE is swollen in a low molecular weight liquid crystal, 4-n-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl, a nematic solvent. The size change by the field effects is linearly proportional to the transmittancy change. This suggests the possibility of broad application as a field-induced-optical actuator device.
