Smart Materials in Additive Manufacturing, Volume 1 provides readers with an overview of the current smart materials widely in use and the techniques for additively manufacturing them. It demonstrates the principles developed for 4D printing in a way that is useful for students, early career researchers, and professionals. Topics covered include modeling and fabrication of 4D printed materials such as dielectric elastomer soft robots, low-voltage electroactive polymers, and stimuli-responsive hydrogels. 4D printing of light-responsive structures, gels and soft materials, and natural fiber composites are also discussed, as is origami-inspired 4D printing, 4D microprinting, and reversible 4D printing. 4D bioprinting and related biomedical applications are outlined as well as functionalized 4D printed sensor systems.
This book, the first in the series, demonstrates the principles that frontline academics and engineers have developed for four-dimensional (4D) printing in a manner that will be useful for students and early career researchers in the field at a higher education level. During the past few years, significant progress has been made in 4D printing by researchers in top institutions and laboratories worldwide, combining advances in 3D printing of dynamic structures with stimuli-responsive materials, known as smart materials, to create additively manufactured smart structures. However, 4D printing technology is only in the early stages of research and development, so industries will probably learn more about it in the coming years. With the Fourth Industrial Revolution well underway, industries that take advantage of its unprecedented possibilities will undoubtedly have an economic advantage. With this knowledge, institutions, researchers, and students investing in 4D printing technology are the ones with radical potential.
Key Features:
- Discusses 4D printed shape memory polymers, shape memory alloys, natural fibers, and hydrogels
- Covers various types of stimuli, fabrication techniques, multi-physics modeling, and control strategies for 4D printing
- Explores 4D printing of dielectric elastomers, liquid crystal elastomers, and electroactive polymers
