Three-dimensional thermochromic liquid crystal elastomer structures with reversible shape-morphing and color-changing capabilities for soft robotics
Abstract
This work reports a facile strategy to realize reversible shape-morphing and color-changing capabilities via spatially programmed liquid crystal elastomer structures incorporated with thermochromic dyes as well as thermo-magnetic dual responsiveness.
