Movie S1.

This video includes a demonstration of multifunctionality of the conductive composite, highlighting Joule-heated actuation and compatibility for capacitive touch sensing and digital circuitry. LM-LCE composites were linked to an LED, to a microcontroller for capacitive sensing, and to a power supply for Joule-heated actuation. When touch sensing was activated, Joule-heating was triggered by the microcontroller and the LED turned on.
