Extended Data Fig. 9: Micro- and macroscopic views of the mechanochromic response of an LCO1-derived initially red reflecting CLCE fibre sewn into an elastic cloth.

From: Robust cholesteric liquid crystal elastomer fibres for mechanochromic textiles

Extended Data Fig. 9

(a-b), Reflection microscopy images of the CLCE fibre (showing multiple segments overlapping at the intersection between two stitches) in the relaxed state (a) and under elongational strain (b) at a position indicated in c and d (repeated from Fig. 4e-f, respectively).
