Force enhancement. a Stroke as a function of load for 1 × 1 cm films patterned with 2 × 2 or 3 × 3 +1 defect arrays. b Specific work of the 2 × 2 and 3 × 3 arrays. Errors bars represent tilt of the lifted weight and range of three experiments. c Illustration of the deformation of a 1 × 1 cm, four layer LCE laminate (26 mg) lifting over 56 g of load over 0.4 mm. Scale bar is 1 cm
