Figure 9

(a) Chemical structures of mesogenic and isotropic monomers. (b) Mechanism and illustration of the urethane bond-exchange reaction via transcarbamoylation. (c) Multireversible shape change, where a load-free strain was actuated by isotropicnematic (shape 1 to shape 2) and nematicsmectic phase transitions (shape 2 to shape 3) upon thermal cycling.
