Stimulus‐responsive materials : This thesis describes the development of stimulus‐responsive polymeric materials based on liquid crystalline polymers and hydrogels. Novel responsive molecular building blocks were designed and synthesised. Specific monomer mixtures were crosslinked by UV‐photopolymerisation methods, and the response of the obtained (structured) material was analysed.
