Bio-inspired sensitive and reversible mechanochromisms via strain-dependent cracks and folds
Muscle-controlled changes in surface structures are employed in nature to achieve rapid, reversible changes in colour and transparency. Here the authors develop a simple, bilayer platform capable of several distinct analogous mechanochromic behaviours.
