Article Synopsis
- Shape memory polymers (SMPs) can change their shape when heated, and this study focused on 3D printing SMP-based polyurethane to create complex parts for advanced applications.
- The printed actuating structures demonstrated effective memory performance, fully returning to their original form after thermal activation, and included unique QR codes to combat counterfeiting.
- Additionally, the integration of shape memory alloys with these SMPs produced a smart actuator that functions as a two-way switch for controlling microcontroller data collection.
