title: Near-infrared-responsive gold nanorod/liquid crystalline elastomer composites prepared by sequential thiol-click chemistry.
abstract: A novel NIR-responsive GNR/LCE composite fiber material was prepared by a three-step sequential thiol-click chemistry approach. Taking advantage of GNRs' significant photo-thermal effect, a GNR/LCE composite material with a very low Au loading-level (0.09 wt%), under 808 nm NIR stimulus achieved the N-to-I transition and shrank dramatically in an ambient environment.
