Fully Room-Temperature Reprogrammable, Reprocessable, and Photomobile Soft Actuators from a High-Molecular-Weight Main-Chain Azobenzene Crystalline Poly(ester-amide)

Yan Zhou et al.

Summary: The development of azobenzene polymer photoactuators with full room-temperature reprogrammability, reprocessability, and photo-mobility has always been a challenge. This study presents a strategy for fabricating such advanced photoactuators using a high-molecular-weight main-chain azo crystalline poly(ester-amide) prepared via Michael addition polymerization. The resulting photoactuators show reversible photoinduced bending/unbending at room temperature and can be easily reprogrammed into various three-dimensional shapes.

A Photoorganizable Triple Shape Memory Polymer for Deployable Devices

Jiahao Sun et al.

Summary: Developing deployable devices using stimuli-responsive materials, such as the photoorganizable triple shape memory polymer (POTSMP) described in this study, allows for programmable deformation and in situ repair to extend service life in aerospace applications. The POTSMP can achieve arbitrary programming of temporary shapes and precise shape recovery under UV and visible light, while also enabling rapid light-reconfiguration for localized repair and process of permanent shape. Combining these operations facilitates the manufacturing of deformable devices with complex structures without the need for special molds.

Three-Dimensional Printing of Liquid Crystal Elastomers and Their Applications

Zhijian Wang et al.

Summary: Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), composed of liquid crystal mesogens and polymer networks, exhibit excellent actuation performance and tailorable energy dissipation behavior. Traditional manufacturing methods face challenges in fabricating LCE samples in arbitrary 3D shapes and desired alignment patterns, while the combination of 3D printing techniques with alignment methods of LCEs can overcome this challenge. This Review highlights recent advances in 3D printing techniques of LCEs, comparing differences and key parameters in materials extrusion and vat photopolymerization techniques and introducing applications in soft robotics, reconfigurable surfaces, and haptic devices.
