3D Printing 3D printing of nematic self-assembling thermotropic liquid crystal polymers allows orientation control on the fly. This method enables the creation of intricate patterns which offer potential applications in functional structures with stiffness gradients and crack-mitigation strategies. This approach also facilitates the study and replication of nature-inspired patterns through extrusion 3D printing, such as the anisotropy formed by living organisms. More details can be found in article number 2307444 by Kunal Masania and co-workers.
