Liquid crystal oligomer networks (LCONs), combine the elastic properties of rubber and the anisotropic properties of liquid crystals, are among the most promising materials to prepare surface topographies. In this project, we will fabricate LCON coatings on the substrates with pre-programmable patterned defect information which is established by photoalignment technology. The prepared coating can be reversibly actuated by heat, light, or electricity to form various surface topographies you like. Next, we will apply them for certain functions, an example is the formation of cilia to mimic the natural archetypes-hair structure on gecko feet for super adherence.
