Fig. 3

a–c Assembled 1D lines transforming into a 1D line with a varying width (a), a 2D line (b), and a 3D line (c), where (i, ii) include the schematic director fields and photos of the non-actuated 1D lines at 30 °C, and (iii, iv) include the schematic drawing and photo of the actuated 1D lines at 200 °C. d 3D detailed schematic views and 3D-view photo of the 1D line transforming into a 3D line at 200 °C in (c).
