Programmable Filaments and Textiles
A. P. Zakharov, L. M. Pismen · Phys. Rev. Materials 3, 055603 (2019) · 2019
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.
Plain English summary
Why this matters
Key findings
- Morphing structures are obtained by actuating Janus filaments with driven and passive sectors.
- Textiles incorporating driven and passive filaments exhibit shape transitions under actuation.
- Absolutely stable and metastable states coexist within a certain range of relative extension upon actuation.
- Shape transitions are detected in both Janus rings and textiles.
- Reverse design is possible to achieve desired bending shapes by controlling driven-sector size and orientation.
Limitations
The abstract does not specify experimental vs simulated methods, actuation mechanism, material system details, quantitative performance metrics, or durability/repeatability limits.
