: Covers subjects like origami-inspired structures, electro-induced shape memory, and tunable mechanical properties. 3D Printed Smart Sensors and Energy Harvesting Devices
: Creating single-material soft robots that move without traditional mechanical joints.
: Adaptive medical implants and stents that can adjust to a patient's body over time.
: High attention is given to Shape Memory Polymers (SMPs) and shape-reversible materials that allow structures to recover their original form.
The volume focuses on the transition from static 3D models to dynamic 4D-printed objects that can change shape, property, or functionality when exposed to external stimuli like heat, light, or humidity.
