DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Method for patterning a liquid crystal elastomer comprises liquid crystal elastomer includes dynamic covalent bonds and has a cross-linked network structure, and the method involves orienting at least part of the molecular chains in the cross-linked network structure of the liquid crystal elastomer along a predetermined direction. Applying electrothermal driving or photothermal driving to the liquid crystal elastomer, wherein the electrothermal driving mode is to place a polyimide electrothermal film on the liquid crystal elastomer, the photothermal driving method is to dope the photothermal response material in the molecular chain of the liquid crystal elastomer. Heating the pre-oriented molecular chains of the liquid crystal elastomer through the electrical processing control of the polyimide electrothermal film or the light processing control of the photothermal response material to exchange the dynamic covalent bond, a new cross-linked network structure is formed, thereby obtaining the liquid crystal elastomer with the desired pattern orientation.
