A development of new material for 4D printing and the material properties comparison between the conventional and stereolithography polymerised NVCL hydrogels

Zhuo, Shuo; Geever, Luke M.; Halligan, Elaine; Tie, Billy Shu Hieng; Breheny, Colette (MDPI, 2022-11-22)

The term 4D printing refers to the idea that the shape or properties of a printed object can be changed when an external stimulus is applied. In this contribution, a temperature-responsive polymer Poly (N-vinyl caprolactam) ...
Investigation of thermal. mechanical and shape memory properties of 3D-printed functionally graded nanocomposite materials

Alsaadi, Mohamad; Hinchy, Eoin P.; McCarthy, Conor T.; Moritz, Vicente F.; Portela, Alexandre; Devine, Declan M. (MDPI, 2023-09-28)

In this study, a 3D-printed photocurable resin was developed by incorporating graphene nanoplatelets functionalised with melamine to investigate the thermal, mechanical, fracture and shape memory behaviours. The objective ...
Synthesis and characterization of 4D-printed NVCL-coDEGDA resin using stereolithography 3D printing

Halligan, Elaine; Tie, Billy Shu Hieng; Colbert, Declan Mary; Alsaadi, Mohamad; Zhou, Shuo; Keane, Gavin; Geever, Luke M. (MDPI, 2024-03-19)

The design and manufacturing of objects in various industries have been fundamentally altered by the introduction of D-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) printing technologies. Four-dimensional printing, a ...
