Stiffening Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Liquid Crystal Inclusions
Incorporation of low molecular weight liquid crystals (LC) into liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) leads to a significant increase in their stiffness and output work density. Such remarkable stiffening is attributed to nanoscale phase‐separation and the formation of induced‐smectic domains in polydomain and monodomain LC‐LCEs, respectively.

Synthetic Chromatophores for Color and Pattern Morphing Skins
Cephalopods use chromatophore organs (muscle‐actuated pigment sacs) to alter their skin color and pattern. Synthetic chromatophores, which closely mimic the mechano‐optical process found in cephalopods using stimuli‐responsive microscale hydrogel actuators, are reported.
