Inside Back Cover: Mechanochromic, Shape‐Programmable and Self‐Healable Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomers Enabled by Dynamic Covalent Boronic Ester Bonds (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 9/2022)

摘要

Reprogrammable elastomers with dynamic covalent bonds are of paramount significance for emerging applications such as adaptive optics and soft robotics. In their Research Article (e202116219), Ling Wang, Wei Feng, and co-workers describe mechanochromic, shape-programmable, and self-healable cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers obtained by introducing dynamic covalent boronic ester bonds into the main-chain chiral liquid crystalline polymer networks.
