The third volume of Smart Materials in Additive Manufacturing (AM): 4D-Printed Robotic Materials, Sensors, and Actuators is published! It covers the principles and advances in 4D-printed robotic materials. It discusses the mechanics of these materials, techniques by which to manufacture them, and different applications. Shape memory polymers, hydrogels, shape memory alloys, biomaterials, natural fibers, dielectric elastomers, liquid crystal elastomers, and electroactive polymers are presented, featuring in-depth discussion of their responses to stimuli, fabrication, multi-physics modeling, control techniques, and applications.
