Implication

Review highlights liquid crystal elastomers' responsiveness and actuation potential in robotics and electronics, suggesting future applications in optics and energy.

Key Points

Liquid crystal elastomers demonstrated remarkable shape changes under stimuli, enhancing application potential.
They achieve actuation strains of 5–500% and stresses of 0.01–20 MPa, indicating versatile performance.
Review of state-of-the-art responsive LCEs includes thermo-, photo-, electro-, chemical-, magnetic-, humidity-, radio-frequency-, ultrasonic-, and photothermal-responsive types.
The significance of responsive liquid crystal elastomers extends to robotics, electronics, and optics, highlighting emerging research opportunities.
