The first paper for Roshan Nasare's PhD work featuring a supramolecular liquid crystal elastomer actuator with integrated shape memory function is out! Congratulations! In the work, the authors Roshan Nasare, Hongshuang Guo and Arri Priimägi present a multi-mode, supramolecular liquid crystal elastomer actuator that integrates shape memory programming, humidity sensitivity, and photochemical actuation, depending on the pre-activation conditions. Switching between different st
