Bistable Photochromic Guest–Host Liquid Crystals for Rewritable and Switchable Photonic Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A photochromic DTCP‐based liquid crystal dye is incorporated into cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) to achieve optically and electrically tunable multistable states. In the open‐ring form, the system exhibits three electrically stable textures—planar, focal conic, and uniformly lying helix (ULH)—corresponding to reflective, scattering, and transparent

Effective Sliding Motions of Vibration‐Induced Emission Stoppers in Mechanically Interlocked Molecules as Artificial Muscle Tougheners and In Situ Molecular Shuttling Sensors for Self‐Healable Mechano‐Fluorescent Polyurethane Organogels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The self‐healable ratiometric mechano‐fluorescent polyurethane (PU) organogel is constructed by incorporating a minor amount (ca. 1.5 wt.%) of the unconventional daisy chain rotaxane (as an artificial molecular muscle toughener) with specific sliding motions and ratiometric emission behaviors into the PU skeleton, which reveals the progressed intrinsic
