Published purpose

This NRC-UofT collaboration targets a 4D printing approach, combining 3D printing with shape-responsive polymers, to smart surfaces and soft robotics. Tailoring composition of 3D printable polymers, in particular using nanomaterial fillers, and optimizing structure design and materials compatibility in multimaterial prints, will lead to polymer actuator and morphing surface demonstrations.
