Notes:
The insertion of inorganic nanoparticles and nanowires in a liquid crystalline elastomericenvironment is here investigated. The combination of ferroelectric and conductive properties of thenanomaterials with the thermo-mechanical and shape memory response of liquid single crystalelastomers based on polysiloxane is indeed very promising for new technological applications, suchas electroactive actuators. In this work the preparation and physical-chemical properties of newcomposites are presented and discussed in comparison with those of standard liquid single crystalelastomers (LSCEs). In particular, we are reporting the preliminary results of new compositesincluding either lead titanate nanoparticles or molibdene oxide nanowires, having different electricand conductive properties
