术语液晶弹性体(LCE)描述了一类材料,其将与常规弹性体相关的弹性熵行为与各向异性液晶的刺激响应特性结合联合收割机。因此,LCE表现出弹性体和液晶两者的属性,但另外具有在两者中均未发现的独特性质。LCE合成的最新进展,以及对液晶分子行为的理解,即它们的机械,光学和响应特性,与生物学和生物医学具有重要的相关性。LCE在自然界中非常丰富,突出了LCE在仿生学中的潜在用途。它们卓越的拉伸性能和生物相容性导致研究探索它们在人工组织,生物传感器和细胞支架中的应用,通过利用它们的致动和减震性能。最近,人们对使用LCE作为形态发生的模型也有很大的兴趣。本文综述了LCE的一些方面,这些方面在生物学和生物医学的不同分支中具有相关性,并讨论了最近LCE的进展如何影响未来的应用。
The term liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) describes a class of materials that combine the elastic entropy behaviour associated with conventional elastomers with the stimuli responsive properties of anisotropic liquid crystals. LCEs consequently exhibit attributes of both elastomers and liquid crystals, but additionally have unique properties not found in either. Recent developments in LCE synthesis, as well as the understanding of the behaviour of liquid crystal elastomers—namely their mechanical, optical and responsive properties—is of significant relevance to biology and biomedicine. LCEs are abundant in nature, highlighting the potential use of LCEs in biomimetics. Their exceptional tensile properties and biocompatibility have led to research exploring their applications in artificial tissue, biological sensors and cell scaffolds by exploiting their actuation and shock absorption properties. There has also been significant recent interest in using LCEs as a model for morphogenesis. This review provides an overview of some aspects of LCEs which are of relevance in different branches of biology and biomedicine, as well as discussing how recent LCE advances could impact future applications.
