3D‐Printed Gradient Shape‐Memory Strain Sensors With Rewritable Gauge Factors
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A 3D‐printed shape‐memory strain sensor combines thermomechanical programming with gradient architectural design. Preset strain rewrites the gauge factor (GF), while the gradient geometry amplifies the response through strain redistribution. Reprogrammable sensitivity enables the same sensor to detect weak pulse signals and monitor large‐amplitude ...

Molecularly Dissipative Liquid Crystal Elastomer Foams for Impact and Vibration Attenuation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Liquid crystal elastomer foams integrate cellular deformation with mesogen reorientation to create a dual‐scale energy dissipation mechanism. Progressive pore collapse absorbs mechanical loads, while stress‐induced mesogen reorientation provides additional damping, resulting in reduced impact transmission and broadband suppression of vibrational ...

Bistable Isochoric Chiral Metamaterials with Reprogrammable Multiaxial Responses
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An isochoric bistable rotational unit cell enables in situ modification of internal contact conditions post‐fabrication, without altering the global envelope dimensions of the surrounding architecture. By selectively switching between open and closed states, the tessellated chiral metamaterial can reprogram its volumetric response, including bulk ...
