Employment of 3D-Printed Bilayer Structures with Embedded Continuous Fibers for Thermal Management Applications: An Axial Cooling 4D-Printed Fan Application Case Study

Bi-material composite structures with continuous fibers embedded on polymer substrates exhibit self-morphing under thermal stimulus induced by the different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) between the two constituent materials. In this study, a series of such structures are investigated in t...
