Self-assembled micro-organogels for 3D printing silicone structures
The widespread prevalence of commercial products made from microgels illustrates the immense practical value of harnessing the jamming transition; there are countless ways to use soft, solid materials that fluidize and become solid again with small variations in applied stress. The traditional routes of microgel synthesis produce materials that predominantly swell in aqueous solvents or, less o...
متن کاملBiomimetic 4D printing.
Shape-morphing systems can be found in many areas, including smart textiles, autonomous robotics, biomedical devices, drug delivery and tissue engineering. The natural analogues of such systems are exemplified by nastic plant motions, where a variety of organs such as tendrils, bracts, leaves and flowers respond to environmental stimuli (such as humidity, light or touch) by varying internal tur...
متن کاملToward Rigidization of Inflatable Structures
Active rigidization of a simple structure demonstrates how internal resistive heating can be applied to cause permanent physical strengthening of inflatable structures. Rigidizing a real structure brings to light the issues associated with incorporating the rigidizable resincoated tow onto a separate substrate and provides a useful example of the strength gained through effective rigidization. ...
متن کاملDirect 4D printing via active composite materials
We describe an approach to print composite polymers in high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) architectures that can be rapidly transformed to a new permanent configuration directly by heating. The permanent shape of a component results from the programmed time evolution of the printed shape upon heating via the design of the architecture and process parameters of a composite consisting of a gl...
متن کاملDeployment Simulation of Ultra-lightweight Inflatable Structures
Dynamic deployment analyses of folded inflatable tubes are conducted to investigate modeling issues related to the deployment of solar sail booms. The analyses are necessary because ground tests include gravity effects and may poorly represent deployment in space. A control volume approach, available in the LS-DYNA nonlinear dynamic finite element code, and the ideal gas law are used to simulat...
