4D printing of polyurethane paint-based composites
Open accessAbstract
In recent studies, polyurethane has shown multiple properties that make it an excellent candidate material in 4D printing. In this study, we present a simple and inexpensive additive method to print waterborne polyurethane paint-based composites by adding carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and silicon oxide (SiO2) nanoparticles to the paint. The first function of CMC and SiO2 is to improve rheological properties of the polyurethane paint for making a printable precursor, which improves the printing resolution and enhances additive manufacturability. Second, the composite precursors improve the curing rate of the polyurethane paint without changing its inherited shape memory properties. Third, the printed composite parts shown enhanced mechanical strength compared with that of the parts printed with pure polyurethane. Finally, the 3D printed polyurethane-CMC and SiO2 parts exhibit time-resolved shape transformation upon heat stimulation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of using the polyurethane paint as the precursor for 4D printing, which would open new possibilities in future applications in biomedical engineering, soft robotics and so on.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
