Jan gave this talk, about tube- and shell-shaped soft actuators made out of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), at the Technical University Eindhoven on August 31st, 2023. It deals with the challenges encountered when making LCEs in shell and tube shape, as well as the application opportunities they give rise to.
This is Jan's invited talk at the Canadian Chemistry Congress CSC 2023 in Vancouver, on June 8th, 2023. It's about the first cholesteric spherical reflector shells made of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), tunable for red, green or blue retroreflection, as well as the application opportunities that arise with such materials.
