Popis: Highlights To precisely engineer complex helical hierarchies at nano/microscales, reactive inks with chiral nematic anisotropy are designed for 3D printing. The phase transformations and chiral evolution in response to parallel and orthogonal shear forces are meticulously investigated to finely adjust the 3D printing parameters for programming oriented chiral assemblies. The interplay between chiral relaxation dynamics and photo-polymerization kinetics is finely tuned to enable well-controlled chiral reformation, while simultaneously ensuring high print quality.
