title: Engineering of complex order and the macroscopic deformation of liquid crystal polymer networks.
abstract: Rise or fall: Complex-structured freestanding polymer films with molecular order in three dimensions were prepared through photoalignment of polymerizable liquid crystals. The resulting films deform into cone and saddle shapes upon heating.
