Frequency-Adaptive Elastomers Through Cooperative Dynamics of Liquid-Crystalline Domains and a Rubber Matrix.
Elastomers are highly suitable for components requiring conformal deformation under load, but their low modulus sensitivity to frequency limits the material's ability to resist dynamic damage. Here we report a phase-separated elastomer that remains compliant at low loading frequency and stiffens strongly at high freque...
