Degradable 4D-printed hydration-driven actuators from a single family of amphiphilic star-shaped copolymers

Actuators are largely used in biomedical applications in the presence of sensitive live cells or biomolecules, which makes actuators triggered by water uptake highly appealing. Dual-material printing and hydration driven expansion is a method of choice to produce such actuators, but mostly rely of n...
