Research progress in smart responsive structural-colored liquid crystal elastomer
Structural-colored liquid crystal elastomer(SLCE)is a class of crosslinked polymer networks combining optical structural colors and rubber-like elastic properties.Structural-colored liquid crystal elastomer devices produce vibrant and durable colors by Bragg reflection from their internal periodic submicron structures.In recent years,the development of structural design and manipulation techniques has led to a significant increase in the versatility and tunability of structural-colored liquid crystal elastomer,which has driven its development in the fields of materials science and optics.In this paper,we briefly introduce the basic properties of cholesteric liquid crystal elastomer and blue phase liquid crystal elastomer,followed by focusing on an overview of their research progress in the fields of environment sensing,display encryption,bionics and smart fabrics.Finally,a further summary and outlook are given for the challenges and application prospects of structural-colored liquid crystal elastomer in practical applications.
