READ ME This files contains information about the contents of Dataset associated with "Resolving the mechanical response of liquid crystal elastomers - semi-soft elastic or auxetic". Files: Fig. 3 contains DSC thermographs (Fig. 3a) for the series of LCEs, differential of DSC thermographs (Fig. 3.b) of the series of LCEs, relative shape change as a function of temp (Fig. 3c) for the series of LCEs, differential of the relative shape change as function of temperature (Fig. 3d) for the series of LCEs, Nematic to isotropic transition temperatures as function of cross-link density using the actuation of the LCEs and via DSC (Fig. 3.e), Order parameters via Raman spectroscopy of the series of LCEs (Fig. 3f.) Fig. 4 contains stress-strain data for the series of LCEs (Fig 4a-b) and strain-strain data of the series of LCEs (Fig 4.c). Fig. 5 contains stress-strain data and director angle behaviour for the 1/8x LCE sample (Fig 5.a) and 1D WAXS patterns for the unstrained and strained 1/8x LCE sample (Fig.5b). Fig. 6 contains stress-strain data and director angle behaviour for the 1x LCE sample (Fig 6.a) and 1D WAXS patterns for the unstrained and strained 1x LCE sample (Fig.6b). Fig. 7 contains 1D WAXS patterns strained 1x LCE sample after 24 hour rexation (Fig.7d). Fig. 8 contains strain-strain data for the 1/8x sample at a rate of 0.5%/min, 5%/min and 50%/min (Fig.8a) and strain-strain data for the 1x sample at a rate of 0.04%/min, 0.08%/min and 0.5%/min, 1%/min (Fig.8c) Fig. 9 contains strain-strain data for the 1x sample at a temp of 23 degC, 30 degC and 35 degC.
