Liquid crystalline elastomers based on diglycidyl terminated rigid monomers and aliphatic acids. Part 2. Mechanical characterization

Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) confirmed the existence of a heterogeneous, more branched structure in the case of DOMS-based systems. The particular features of the DMTA response strongly depend on the material composition and, in general, were found in agreement with other evidences from the literature.
