Abstract
Phase transitions in Liquid Crystal elastomers can trigger large spontaneous deformations. As this can be done locally and by various external stimuli, exploiting such controlled shape change can be a desirable function in designing micro as well as macroscopic devices. In this lecture I will try to convince you that to fully realize the potential of Liquid Crystal elastomers, we should strive to control the nematic director orientation. I will discuss how this can be achieved on different scales.
