New 3D Printing Technique Produces ‘Living’ 4D Materials

UNSW Sydney researchers have successfully merged 3D/4D printing with a chemical process to produce 'living' resin, which has huge potential for fields as diverse as recycling and biomedicine. This time-lapse video shows the printed 4D plastic material transforming over time. The research, led by Professor Cyrille Boyer, has been published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
