Sensing technologies capable of quantitatively measuring mechanical stress are essential in fields such as robotics. Here, we present a material that enables real-Time, electronic-free stress sensing through structural color changes. The material is a multilayered film incorporating chiral-nematic liquid crystalline elastomers (N∗ LCEs) which respond to mechanical deformation such as elongation and compression by altering their reflection color. N∗ LCEs exhibit both optical properties derived from their helical molecular organization and elasticity typical of rubber-like materials. Our system differs from conventional LCEs in that it features a multilayer architecture designed to independently control the relaxation dynamics of optical responses without requiring chemical modification. This design achieves both rapid response and reversibility which are vital for practical applications. For both elongation and compression, the applied strain can be quantitatively evaluated through reflection color shift. These findings highlight the material's potential for use in next-generation mechanoresponsive devices, including wearable sensors, structural health monitors, and intelligent robotic skins. © COPYRIGHT SPIE.
