Magnetic Dynamic Polymers for Modular Assembling and Reconfigurable Morphing Architectures
Magnetic dynamic polymer composite composed of hard-magnetic microparticles in thermally reversible dynamic polymer networks for multifunctional assemblies and reconfigurable architectures is reported. It integrates functionalities of targeted welding of modular assembling with complex actuation, magnetization reprogramming with altered shape-morphing mode, and remote-controlled structural reconfiguration to complex stress-free three-dimensional architectures, opening a new avenue for manufacturing multifunctional and reconfigurable morphing architectures and devices.
