Metamaterials
In article number 2106175, Daining Fang, Yihui Zhang, and co‐workers present unique mechanics‐guided designs and fabrication schemes of liquid crystal elastomer metamaterials that allow access to unprecedented biaxial thermal shrinkage. A low‐temperature synthesis method enables excellent actuation performance at substantially reduced temperatures. Such metamaterials are integrated with...
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are a class of soft active materials of increasing interest, because of their excellent actuation and optical performances. While LCEs show biomimetic mechanical properties (e.g., elastic modulus and strength) that can be matched with those of soft biological tissues, their biointegrated applications have been rarely explored, in part, due to their high actuation temperatures...
