Overview of actuation behavior of a large-scale LCE-containing fabric. (A) Magnified plan view (upper) of a 1Â m wide by 4Â m long LCE fabric (lower), with a spool of thread for scale. Plan and lateral views of the unactuated (B) and actuated (C) LCE fabric, showing the resulting deformation in pattern and topology.
