4D Printable Formulations of Mixed Low and High Molecular Weight Liquid Crystalline Units: A Versatile Route to Functional Soft Actuators

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This work presents a practical approach for formulating 4D printable inks that incorporates substantial fractions of low molecular weight mesogens. By blending low molecular weight diacrylate or monoacrylate constituents with a high molecular weight main‐chain macromer, the resulting mixture proves suitable for direct ink writing, enabling mechanical ...
