• • The newly synthesized diselenide bond molecule (DSeAc) exhibits excellent bond exchange ability due to the lower bond energy between selenium atoms, enabling seamless bonding of LCE matrices under mild conditions.
• • The function block combination strategy integrates a CLCE film and an NLCE actuator into a monolithic film, allowing tailored functional characteristics for diverse applications.
• • The approach addresses the challenge of combining the mechanical advantages of NLCEs with the optical properties of CLCEs, overcoming limitations of high-voltage actuation in previous systems.
• • The resulting material shows potential in information storage, anti-counterfeiting, and biomimetics, with the ability to induce deformation in CLCEs through the actuation of the NLCE matrix.
