Effect of stretching angle on the stress plateau behavior of main-chain liquid crystal elastomers
Suzuka Okamoto, Shinichi Sakurai, Kenji Urayama
Abstract
Stretching angle for a main-chain liquid crystal elastomer has pronounced effects on the width of the stress plateau as well as the ultimate elongation, while it has no effect on the plateau height.
