Description
Summary:Metamaterials In article number 2106175, Daining Fang, Yihui Zhang, and co‐workers present unique mechanics‐guided designs and fabrication schemes of liquid crystal elastomer metamaterials that allow access to unprecedented biaxial thermal shrinkage. A low‐temperature synthesis method enables excellent actuation performance at substantially reduced temperatures. Such metamaterials are integrated with dressings to develop shrinkable, hemostatic patches for enhancing skin regeneration.
