A) A schematic of a common squid that depicts the muscle-controlled color-changing skin. B) A schematic of a squid skin layer containing embedded chromatophore organs, which transition between expanded (left) and contracted (right) states as a result of muscle action. The layer adaptively modulates the transmission and reflection of visible light. C) A schematic of a standard thermoregulatory composite material consisting of polymer matrix containing embedded metal islands, which transition between abutted (left) and separated (right) states upon the application of strain. D) A schematic of a breathable perforated, washable encapsulated, and wearable fabric-integrated composite material before (left) and after (right) the application of strain.
