In nature, many mysterious creatures capable of

deformation camouflage, color camouflage, and self-healing

have inspired scientists to develop various biomimetic soft

robots. However, the systematic integration of all the above

functionalities into a single soft actuator system still remains a

challenge. Here we chemically introduce a multi-stimuliresponsive

tetraarylsuccinonitrile (TASN) chromophore into

a liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) network through a facile

thiol-ene photoaddition method. The obtained TASN-LCE

soft actuators not only exhibit reversible shape-morphing and

reversible color-changing behavior in response to heat and

mechanical compression, but also show excellent self-healing,

reprogramming and recycling characteristics. We hope that

such a TASN-LCE actuator system endowed with dynamic

distortion, thermo- and mechano-chromic camouflage, and

self-healing functionalities would pave the way for further

development of multifunctional biomimetic soft robotic

devices.
