The preparation of mixed mesogen liquid crystalline elastomers was achieved by hydrosilylation of diene mesogens (5tB and 5Me) and a tetravinyl crosslinker with hydride-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane). The thermal and mechanical properties of the resulting 5tB-5Me elastomers were found to vary significantly with elastomer composition. While the E(05tB-1005Me) elastomer has distinct glass transition and clearing temperatures, the E(1005tB-05Me) elastomer shows only a T_g, suggesting that these materials are isotropic. One-way shear shape memory (SSM) cycles of all the elastomers studied revealed excellent shear strain fixing – despite high compliance below the fixing temperature – and heat-induced recovery. In addition some elastomers revealed ordering-induced shear strain when cooling below the isotropization temperature under constant stress, indicating soft elastic behavior and the potential for two-way (reversible) shape memory due to ordering. We envision multiple applications that exploit shear shape memory (SSM) behavior, including torsional mechanical actuators and smart journal bearings.
