Reprocessable Thermoset Soft Actuators [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie, 2019 AbstractWidely used traditional thermosets are good candidates for construction of 3D soft actuators because of their excellent stability; however, it is generally acknowledged that they cannot be reprocessed. The time–temperature equivalence principle enables reprocessing of traditional liquid crystalline epoxy thermosets (LCETs) into 3D soft ...
