Actuation cycles. Four layer LCE laminate composed of layers with 2 × 2 array of +1 defects. Scale bar is 1 cm. Deformation of the four layer LCE laminate under 960 mg load was monitored a after 1 cycle, b 10 cycles (heating step), and c 10 cycles (cooling to 35 °C). d Stroke vs thermal cycle for 11 actuation cycles. Error bar is statistical accuracy of measurement
