Reprocessable, Self-Healing, Thermadapt Shape Memory Polycaprolactone via Robust Ester-Ester Interchanges Toward Kirigami-Tailored 4D Medical Devices

Xingjian Li et al.

Summary: Here, a self-healing, reprocessable, and thermadapt polycaprolactone (PCL)-based shape memory polymer has been achieved through robust ester-ester interchange catalyzed by dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL). The polymer system is fabricated by the common free-radical polymerization of PCL diacrylate, which is straightforward and highly reproducible. DBTDL acts as a stable, efficient, oxidation-resistant, and nonstaining catalyst system for the ester-ester interchange.

Regenerative Living 4D Printing via Reversible Growth of Polymer Networks

Xiaona Xu et al.

Summary: A living polymer network with complex geometries, exceptional adaptability, and continuous growing and regenerating characteristics has been reported. The polymer can be digitally printed into arbitrary 3D shapes and undergoes growth via living polymerization of a monomer. This growth leads to macroscopic dimensional growth and transforms the printed amorphous network into a crystallizable network, resulting in geometric adaptability via a shape-memory mechanism.

Drum Tower-Inspired Kirigami Structures for Rapid Fabrication of Multifunctional Shape-Memory Smart Devices with Complex and Rigid 3D Geometry in a Two-Stage Photopolymer

Xingjian Li et al.

Summary: This paper presents a simple, fast, and versatile method for fabricating multifunctional shape-memory devices with complex and rigid 3D kirigami geometry. The method utilizes a two-stage epoxy-amine-acrylate photopolymer system and a drum tower-inspired pattern design to achieve shape-memory programming and locking through UV-induced free-radical polymerization. The resulting 3D kirigami structure exhibits mechanical robustness and high load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for the production of shape-memory devices.
