Controlling the shape transformation of the kirigami microstructures as a function of the geometrical design of two anchoring posts. A) Schematic illustration of a single kirigami microstructure unit printed on the LCE substrate. B) POM images showing the effect of anchoring post height upon heating. C) Width change, ${S^{\prime }}_1\mathrm{/}{S}_1$, of two anchoring posts with different heights when heated. D) Snapshots showing the transformation of three kirigami units with different lengths (S ₁) of anchoring posts at different temperatures. E) Simulation results showing the stress distribution of two anchoring posts with different lengths at 60 °C.
