Chemically responsive liquid crystal (LC) based polymers can change their mechanical or optical properties when exposed to chemical triggers. The anisotropy inherent in LC materials allows the programming and control of predictable changes in shape, stiffness, and/or color. By further incorporating ionizable moieties into the polymer formulation, these materials may exhibit a response to chemical...
