    Bilayer spin crossover (SCO)@polymer nanocomposites show robust and controllable actuation cycles upon an electrical stimulus. The anisotropic shape of the embedded particles as well as the mechanical coupling between the SCO particles and the matrix can substantially intensify the work output of the actuators.
