Textiles
Smart and programmable textiles for apparel and industrial use.
3D printing on pre-stressed textiles: peel test evaluation of adhesion factors in 4D textiles
A factorial study identifies printing and pre-tension parameters that maximize peel-test adhesion between 3D-printed reinforcements and pre-stressed textile substrates in 4D textiles.
Fundamentals and Uses of 4D Printing on Textiles
This review summarizes how 4D printing of smart, stimuli-responsive polymers on textiles can enable fabrics that change shape or properties for intelligent adaptive textile systems.
Applications and Research of 4D Printing in Material Design
4D printing integrates smart materials into additive manufacturing so cured parts can undergo programmable, stimulus-driven shape and functionality changes over time.
Programmable Filaments and Textiles
Janus filaments and textiles with driven/passive sectors can morph between shapes, showing stable and metastable states, and can be reverse designed to bend into target geometries.
Polymer-Based Smart Material in 4D Printing Applications
This research explores polymer-based smart materials for 4D printing, enabling dynamic and responsive structures that adapt to environmental stimuli.
