Lewis * N IC A IO N Nature is replete with examples of microvascular systems that enable effi cient fl uid fl ow and distribution for autonomic healing, cooling, and energy harvesting. Emulating these systems in functional materials is of considerable interest for emerging applications in self-healing, [ 1–3 ] tissue engineering, [ 4–7 ]
