Endowing a cholesteric liquid crystal elastomer (CLCE) exhibiting helicoidal nanostructure with dynamically tailorable functionalities is of paramount significance for its emerging applications in diverse fields such as adaptive optics and soft robotics. Here, mechanochromic, shape-programmable self-healable CLCE judiciously designed synthesized through integrating dynamic covalent boronic ester bonds into the main-chain polymer network. The circularly polarized reflection CLCEs can be...
