Abstract

Stimuli-responsive polymer systems can be defined as functional materials that show physical or chemical property changes in response to external stimuli, such as temperature, radiation, chemical agents, pH, mechanical stress, and electric and magnetic fields [...].

Keywords: 3D printing; 4D printing; soft robotic actuators; stimuli-responsive polymer.
