Encoding multiple permanent shapes in 3D printed structures

Encoding multiple permanent shapes in 3D printed structures

Conventional methods of programmed shape change in polymers are one-way and one-time only. We introduce a new method of combining a bioinspired, hierarchical architecture with the pre-strain generated by extrusion-based 3D printing to encode multiple permanent shapes in thermoplastic polymer shell s...
