Description:

To demonstrate its effectiveness, this review takes typical soft materials, including liquid crystals, polymers, gels and biological materials, as examples. The aims are to extract the properties that emerge from them and to highlight the challenges that lie ahead. The examples also illustrate the potential applications, including organic semiconductor devices, electrochemical catalysts, thin-film sensors, solar energy generation, plastic crystal electrolytes, microactuators, smart light-responsive materials, self-repairing materials, enzyme cascade sensors, healing materials for diabetic bone defects, and bactericidal materials.
