4D printing of semi-crystalline crosslinked polymer networks with two-way shape-memory effect

This paper introduces a novel approach to 4D printing tailored structures with reversible two-way shape-memory effect (SME) through material extrusion technology. To this aim, methacrylated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) was synthesized and eva...

Monolithic UV‐Laser Programming of Photothermally Meta‐Morphing SMA Structures: Dual‐Encoded Kirigami Mechanics and Photonic Absorbance

ABSTRACT Photothermal shape memory alloys (SMAs) offer a promising pathway toward wireless soft robotic systems, yet their practical implementation remains limited by reliance on heterogeneous coatings and multistep processing to achieve su...
