‘Xi’an Jiaotong University Has Made New Progress In 4D Printing Of Continuous Fiber Composite Materials – JEC – JEC Composites’

JEC Composites Jan 29, 2024

The research team of China039s Xi039an Jiaotong University used the reversible thermochrome deformation ability of liquid crystal elastomers combined with the excellent mechanical properties of continuous fiber materials to propose a direct-writing 4D printing method based on continuous fiber-reinforced liquid crystal elastomers. The continuous fibers embedded in the liquid crystalhellip
