  bibo_abstract:
  - Surface-aligned liquid-crystal networks (LCNs) offer a solution for developing
    functional materials capable of performing a range of tasks, including actuation,
    shape memory, and surfaces patterning. Here we show that Diels–Alder cycloaddition
    can be used to prepare the backbone of planar aligned LCNs under mild ambient
    conditions without the addition of additives or UV irradiation. The mechanical
    properties of the networks have robust viscoelastic modulus and stiffness with
    a reversible local free volume change upon physical aging. This study shows new
    opportunities to design surface-aligned LCNs based on additive free step-growth
    Diels–Alder polymerization and enables the potential to incorporate a wider range
    of photochromic materials into LCNs.@eng
