Harnessing 3D printed residual stress to design heat-shrinkable metamaterials

Heat-shrinkable materials, which are typically shape-memory polymers and irreversibly shrink in response to external heating stimuli, are vital for coating and protection applications in aerospace, micro-robotics, biomedical devices, and biomimetic systems. In these applications, they are often subj...
