Crosslinked liquid crystalline polymers have demonstrated huge potential to implement soft responsive elements; however, the complexity and size of the actuators are limited by the current dominant thin-film geometry processing toolbox. Using 3D printing, stimuli-responsive liquid crystalline elastomeric structures are created here. The printing process prescribes a reversible shape-morphing behavior, offering a new paradigm for active polymer system preparation. The additive character of this technology also leads to unprecedented geometries, complex functions, and sizes beyond those of typical thin-films. The fundamental concepts and devices presented therefore overcome the current limitations of actuation energy available from thin-films, thereby narrowing the gap between materials and practical applications. 000070265 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/SAF2014-54763-C2-2-R 000070265 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000070265 590__ $$a4.078$$b2018 000070265 591__ $$aPOLYMER SCIENCE$$b9 / 86 = 0.105$$c2018$$dQ1$$eT1 000070265 592__ $$a1.31$$b2018 000070265 593__ $$aMaterials Chemistry$$c2018$$dQ1 000070265 593__ $$aPolymers and Plastics$$c2018$$dQ1 000070265 593__ $$aOrganic Chemistry$$c2018$$dQ1 000070265 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000070265 700__ $$aLiu, D. 000070265 700__ $$aBroer, D.J. 000070265 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-3900-2866$$aSánchez-Somolinos, C.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000070265 7102_ $$12003$$2395$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
