[LCT7-2 (Invited)] Application of Liquid Crystals to Mechanical Engineering
Liquid crystal, Machine elements, Microactuator, Backflow
We introduce the application of liquid crystals to machine elements, such as linear actuators and motors. Due to the high shape adaptability of liquid crystals, these elements exhibit the unique characteristics that are not achieved by conventional machine elements.
