Multi‐Mode Mechanochromic Responses from Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomer Tubes of Uniform Sheath

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The structural‐colored tube is created from cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers, exhibiting uniform color changes with high strain sensitivity upon extension and inflation. The color change occurs across multiple mechanochromic modes, highlighting the influence of molecular anisotropy and tubular geometry on strain sensitivity.

Stiffening Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Liquid Crystal Inclusions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
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.
