Design, fabrication and application of self-spiraling pattern-driven 4D-printed actuator

Abstract Self-spiraling actuators are widely found in nature and have high research and actuator-application value in self-lock and self-assembly. Four-dimensional (4D) printing is a new generation additive manufacturing of smart materials and has shown great potential for the fabrication of multi-f...
