4D printing of reconfigurable metamaterials and devices

Shape-shifting structures are important building blocks in the design of reconfigurable materials and devices with advanced functionalities. Here, versatile metamaterials with 3D-to-3D shape-shifting behavior upon thermal activation are fabricated by adapting a 3D printer to print on curved surfaces...
