A Bit of a Stretch - Liquid Crystal Elastomers: West Midlands Prestige Physics Talk
Professor Helen Gleeson, OBE. Cavendish Professor of Physics and Head of Physics and Astronomy, University of Leeds
Part of British Science Week 2021
This talk will introduce what these special rubbers - liquid crystal elastomers - are and how they spontaneously change shape, can lift thousands of times their own weight, and how they can even get thicker when stretched, rather than thinner.
