4D Printable Mutifunctional Vitrimers
In article number 2103682, Sungmin Park, Yong Seok Kim, Dong‐Gyun Kim, and co‐workers develop a 4D printable vitrimer that is translated from a commercial poly‐ε‐caprolactone (PCL) resin. The developed material exhibits combined characteristics of vitrimers and semi‐crystalline PCL, allowing for self‐repairing, welding, recycling, as well as thermadapt shape memory effects. Furthermore, active dynamic network rearrangement capabilities of vitrimers permits applying various types of fused‐deposition‐modeling‐based printing methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
