Dataset corresponding to the underlying data of PRIME scientific publications - Publication Title: Four-Dimensional Printed Liquid Crystalline Elastomer Actuators with Fast Photoinduced Mechanical Response toward Light-Driven Robotic Functions - Publication Reference: ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2020, 12, 39, 44195. - Publication DOI: 10.1021/acsami.0c13341 - Figure 5 caption: Temporal dependence of (a) photoinduced force and (b) temperature under exposure to low UV light intensity (50 mW/cm2) carried out with a dog bone-shaped LCE strip (110 μm thick, sample cross-sectional area of 0.31 mm2) with uniaxial orientation of the director along the long axis of the element. A pre-stretching of the sample by a force of 3.1 mN has been applied prior to force measurement. The sample is illuminated with UV light (365 nm) for 240 s (illumination starts at t = 0 s, purple line), and UVlight is switched off; the sample is left to relax without light for 120 s (black line). (a inset) Photoinduced force measured after this relaxation period while the LCE strip is illuminated with 4 mW/cm2 of blue light (455 nm) for 30 min. PRIME.
