A stimuli‐responsive material is synthesized that combines the actuation potential of liquid‐crystalline elastomers with the anisotropic magnetic properties of ellipsoidal iron oxide nanoparticles. The resulting nanocomposite exhibits unique shape‐memory features with magnetic information, which can be reversibly stored and erased via parameters typical of soft materials, such as high deformations,...
Microactuators are an essential component in microsystems or microdevices, and in applications that include artificial muscles, pumps, valves, or switchers. Liquid‐crystalline elastomers are a new class of actuator material in the field of microsystem technologies, which can be used in standard processes. This newly developed actuator provides new possibilities in microfluidics because of its dimensional...
