Liquid Crystal Elastomers Filaments for Adaptive Textiles and Soft Robotics: A Processing‐Centric Review

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.
