Overview of blocking force characterization for four plain weave samples with five integrated rows of conductive thread (resistive heaters), and 0, 1, 3, and 5 rows of LCE fiber. Left to Right: Grayscale legend identifying the different woven components and a corresponding x-ray transmission image showing the five conductive threads in detail, schematics and photos of the fabricated samples, and their corresponding blocking force measurements over 6 consecutive 30 s heating (H) and 60 s cooling (C) cycles.
