    Soft materials can be considered trainable when their functional/mechanical properties can be systematcially improved upon exposure to repeated external environmental stresses, such as mechanical loads. One class of material that has the potential to be trainable is dynamic liquid crystal elastomers (dLCEs), which are lightly crosslinked polymer networks that contain both anisotropic liquid crystalline molecules (mesogens) and dynamic bonds. In this work, the trainability of dLCEs is studied by utilizing the mechanical adaptability of mesogenic units in combination with reprogrammability and reconfigurability enabled by the dynamic bonds. The effects of dynamic bond strength on the thermomechanical and liquid crystalline properties of LCEs were studied by synthesizing a series of aza-Michael based dynamic LCEs by incorporating diamine crosslinkers containing either no dynamic bonds, disulfide bonds, or diselenide bonds. Compared to the two other systems, the LCE containing diselenide bonds exhibited significantly higher toughness at room temperature. The effects of mechanical strain on the trainability of the films was studied under slightly elevated temperatures, where diselenide-containing dLCEs exhibited enhanced actuation and stiffer mechanical properties with higher strain levels. Moreover, using the combined thermal and mechanical training protocols, spiral actuators fabricated from the dLCEs demonstrated self-sustained motion upon heating them above their nematic to isotropic transition temperatures. In addition, retrainability was demonstrated in diselenide LCEs by generating two distinct actuator shapes from a single sample, where blue light was used to spatially control the effective regions of training. Overall, this study examines how the strength of dynamic bonds influences the properties and trainability of LCEs and how functional responses can be tailored by applying different training protocols.
