4D printing with robust thermoplastic polyurethane hydrogel-elastomer trilayers

Here we present a new 4D printing technique capable of producing a diverse range of trilayer constructs using commercial low-cost desktop 3D printers. This unique methodology permits the viable construction of dynamically robust and complex origami architectures for a new generation of active struct...
