Abstract
This review collects recent developments in the field of liquid crystalline elastomers
(LCEs) with an emphasis on their use for actuator and sensor applications. Several
synthetic pathways leading to crosslinked liquid crystalline polymers are discussed
and how these materials can be oriented into liquid crystalline monodomains are described.
By comparing the actuating properties of different systems, general structure-property
relationships for LCEs are obtained. In the final section, how these materials can
be turned into usable devices using different interdisciplinary techniques are described.
