Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 24, 23 March 2026.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.

Flexible Chromatic VIS‐IR Meta‐Textile for Multi‐Scenario Stealth

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 2, March 2026.
A flexible chromatic meta‐textile was developed for multi‐spectral stealth across VIS‐IR bands, combining low color difference, ultralow infrared emissivity, and passive radiative cooling. The textile exhibits excellent VIS wide‐angle compatibility, optical durability, and mechanical flexibility, offering a promising solution for advanced stealth ...
