Responsive Liquid‐Crystal‐Clad Fibers for Advanced Textiles and Wearable Sensors

A simple process to clad conventional monofilament fibers with low‐molecular‐weight liquid crystals (LCs) stabilized by an outer polymer sheath is demonstrated. The fibers retain the responsive properties of the LCs but in a highly flexible/drapable format. The monofilament core makes these fibers m...
