Reversible shape change is a highly desirable property for many biomedical applications, including mechanical actuators, soft robotics and artificial muscles. Some materials can change size or shape ...
For advanced 3-D printing applications, researchers had demonstrated the PolyJet method with multiple inkjet printheads to simultaneously deposit different materials on the printing bed. However, the ...
A grayscale pattern used to create a self-folding flower is projected into a glass container. Light from the pattern forms a solid polymer which is differentially crosslinked, creating stress in the ...
