  • The design of liquid crystal networks as energy dissipation materials achieving simultaneously good mechanical and energy dissipation properties is challenging. Here, the authors fabricate energy-dissipation liquid crystal semi-interpenetrating polymer networks consisting liquid crystalline polymers with synergistic properties.

  • To date, only one polymer can self grow to an extended length beyond its original size at room temperature without external stimuli or energy input paving the way for significant advancements in untethered autonomous soft robotics but only freshly prepared samples in an initial state can self-grow. Here, the authors propose a strategy to rejuvenate non-fresh samples to their initial state for on demand self-growth through the synergistic effects of solvents and dynamic covalent bonds during swelling.

  • Isotropization temperature determines the temperature at which Liquid Crystals Elastomer (LCE) material actuates. Here, the authors give a general strategy based on dynamic covalent bonds for tuning the isotropization temperature for LCEs.
