“…However, nowadays they start to be gradually replaced by the new, more efficient technology of organic lightemitting diodes (OLED) (Tsujimura, 2017). Therefore, other areas of LC research like biosensors (Luan et al, 2020), active matter (Zhang et al, 2021), optical devices (Jaroszewicz and Bennis, 2020), and soft actuators (Ula et al, 2018) started to attract more interest, promising new applications in the future.…”

Liquid crystal polymer networks (LCNs) have a great potential in soft actuator technologies. In contrast to other materials, LCNs offer a wide range of external stimuli which can trigger their actuation. These are for example based on changes of temperature, photo-induced or via the application of electric fields. We here discuss the main LCN actuation mechanisms and classify them into several groups based on the used stimulus. Specific recent examples are provided for liquid crystal actuators and several general applications of such materials in connection to actuation mechanisms are exemplary outlined.
