A 3D‐Printed Ferromagnetic Liquid Crystal Elastomer with Programmed Dual‐Anisotropy and Multi‐Responsiveness (Adv. Mater. 45/2023)

Abstract

3D-Printed Ferromagnetic Liquid Crystal Elastome In article number 2302824, Liu Wang, Ji Liu, Shiwu Zhang, Mujun Li, and co-workers report 3D printing of a ferromagnetic liquid crystal elastomer (magLCE) whose nematic order and magnetization can be independently programmed with magnetic field and shear flow assistance. The 3D-printed magLCE exhibit designable multi-modal shape morphing under different stimuli, which is promising for wireless soft robots and intelligent devices.
