new materials that change characteristics and shape / Sudo Null IT News

Usually, 4D means a four-dimensional space in which there are four-dimensional objects - tesseract, icositetrachor (has no analogues in the three-dimensional world), and the like. A few years ago, the term 4D began to be used to refer to a special technology for printing objects that change their characteristics over time. Thus, in 4D printing, the “fourth” is not a measurement, but a parameter that is associated with the position (possibly also the function) of an object.

4D printer technology can hardly be called revolutionary compared to conventional 3D printing - the object is created layer by layer in the same way. The most interesting thing happens later, when the finished item begins to change. And here it all depends on what material is used in the printer. Special materials change under the influence of water, heat, light, mechanical stress, and can also be programmed for certain actions.

Let's see why 4D printing is needed and what a world looks like built on the basis of things that change their shape and behavior.

Cars of the future


Last year, BMW unveiled what the cars of the future will look like. The concept was not without the use of 4D. As conceived by engineers, the car body consists of movable triangular sections printed on a 4D printer. Such parts will have integrated functionality, which is now achieved by producing different parts and assembling one movement from them.

Thanks to the use of special materials similar in characteristics to carbon fiber, each section will have a programmed function from the moment of production. For example, most of the coverage will serve wheel arches designed for better aerodynamics. During the turn, the triangular sections stretch, and the tires do not rub against the arches.

Visual demonstration of the 4D printed concept car:


Shape change on contact with water


A team of scientists at Harvard University turned their attention to plants that react and change their shape in response to environmental stimuli. Hydrogel composite structures have been developed that change shape when immersed in water.

Orchid flower object printed with hydrogel composite inks containing specifically directed cellulose fibers. To give the wood fibers the desired direction, they were mixed with acrylamide hydrogel. When immersed in water, the resulting substance changes its geometric dimensions in a predetermined way.

Composite ink allows you to obtain products of different shapes. Moreover, it is possible to change the composition of the material to obtain certain properties, such as electrical conductivity or biocompatibility.

Researchers at MIT's Self-Assembly Lab have developed a 2D template that folds into a cube when submerged in water. Self-Assembly Lab prints using the Stratasys Objet260 Connex1 printer, which allows you to work using a variety of materials (including rubber-like and polypropylene).

The laboratory has created a wide variety of products that can independently take the desired shape or self-assemble. They showed laces that lace themselves up and pieces of furniture that unfold themselves.

Space Shield


NASA engineers 4D printed metal fabric to protect satellites from damage and radiation, and to make flexible antennas. The fabric is a kind of "mail", created from pieces of silver and other metals. The material can be repeatedly bent, unfolded, stretched and compressed. Each side of the fabric has its own properties, reflects or absorbs light and heat. Despite being flexible, the fabric is extremely difficult to tear. It is planned that satellites will be packed in protective material before they are launched into space, or spacesuits and habitable modules will be shielded with it.

Technology for the Military


Northwestern University's International Nanotechnology Institute received a five-year grant from the US Department of Defense to develop a 4D printer. The 4D printer will be used for research in chemistry, materials science and defense-related fields. It is assumed that 4D printing will allow the creation of new chemical and biological sensors, designs and materials for microchips.

Progress is currently hampered by the lack of low-cost equipment capable of printing at ultra-high resolution (about 1,000 times thinner than a human hair) from hard materials (metals and semiconductors) and soft materials (eg organics).

The 4D printer will form the basis of a new generation of tools for designing architectures in which the materials that form the functional components of electronics can be combined with biological objects.

Shape memory


4D printed resin model recovers after deformation.

Back in 2013, researchers at the University of Colorado developed a 4D printing technique by incorporating "shape memory" polymer fibers into composite materials used in traditional 3D printing. Examples of applications of the technology included solar panels that can fold and unfold for transport, vehicle coatings that adapt to the environment, and military uniforms that change camouflage patterns or better protect against gas or shrapnel.

Three years later, a collaborative team of scientists from the Singapore University of Technology and Design, MIT and the Georgia Institute of Technology developed a new 4D printing method based on exposing photosensitive materials to light. A new printing technique is able to create elements as thick as a human hair.

A solution of photosensitive polymer was poured into the printer and the desired object was projected layer by layer, processing the material with ultraviolet light. To test that the polymer is able to recover from deformation, the researchers printed a soft manipulator that is closed when free. With it, scientists were able to successfully capture small objects (such as screws).

Already at this stage, this technology can be adapted for real applications - for example, to create capsules that release substances when the body temperature rises.

Medical Printing


Doctors in northwest China's Shaanxi Province performed a successful and rare tracheal operation using 4D printing technology. Doctors inserted a tubular tracheal stent into the patient to keep her airway open. For the production of the stent, the biomaterial polycaprolactone was used, which dissolves over time - biodegradation in the human body occurs slowly, about 3 years. Doctors pre-determined the dissolution time of the printed stent, and the patient will not need to undergo another operation to remove it.

A similar incident occurred in the USA. Garrett Peterson was born with a malformation of the bronchi - bronchomalacia, when the cartilage is not hard enough. Bronchial ventilation was compromised, and the child spent his entire life in a hospital at the University of Utah on a life-sustaining ventilator.

Meanwhile, the University of Michigan developed a 3D printed splint that could break down inside the body over time without any consequences, but could still keep the airways open for two to three years - long enough to repair bronchial cartilage.

After creating the virtual model, the printer prints layers of polycaprolactone in the shape of a specific trachea. Although the process of creating custom stents may seem difficult, it only takes one day.

It is likely that 4D biomaterials will sooner or later go far beyond respiratory diseases. The problems of face reconstruction and ear restoration are already being studied.

In general, most scientists working in the field of four-dimensional printing predict an explosive growth of objects and materials for four-dimensional printing in the next five years.
