Abstract:The aim of this work is to characterize the moisture-dependent actuation behavior of bioinspired and additively manufactured hygromorphs based by following deductive and inductive design approaches. Fused Filament Fabrication is employed to print bilayered structures consisting of swellable active layers and rigid passive layers. The active layer is composed of a polylactic acid matrix filled with different hygroscopic cellulosic materials up to a filler content of 50 m%. Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol-Copolymer … Show more
