Magnetic multimaterial printing for multimodal shape transformation with tunable properties and shiftable mechanical behaviors
Multimaterial printing technology is utilized for the complex structural integration of magnetic soft materials and magnetic shape memory polymers to explore their enhanced multimodal shape transformation and tunable properties. By cooperative thermal and magnetic actuation, we demonstrate multiple deformation modes with distinct shape configurations, which further enable active metamaterials with tunable physical properties such as sign-change Poisson’s ratio.
