Abstract: bond exchange. Comparative studies with non-liquid crystalline dynamic polymer networks and LCEs without dynamic covalent bond exchange allow us to further understand how large actuation strain can be accessed under minimal mechanical deformation. Moreover, spatial programming of actuation strain is realized by local control over bond exchange kinetics, enabling complex and heterogeneous deformation modes within a monolithic xLCE film.
