    摘要: The present invention provides a method of in situ 4D printing of high-temperature materials including 3D printing a structure of an ink including a precursor. The structure is treated with controlled high energy flow to create a portion which has a different coefficient of thermal expansion/thermal shrinkage ratio. The structure is heated and the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion creates an interface stress to cause a selected level of deformation. Alternatively, two structures with different coefficients of expansion/thermal shrinkage ratio may be printed. Thermal treatment of the two structures creates an interface stress to cause a selected level of deformation.

    摘要: A system and method of constructing a 4D-printed ceramic object, the method including extruding inks including particles and polymeric patterns through a nozzle to deposit the inks to form a first elastic structure, subjecting the first elastic structure to tensile stress along at least one axis, extruding inks including particles and polymeric patterns through a nozzle to deposit the inks to form a second elastic structure provided to the first elastic structure under tensile stress, releasing the application of tensile stress from the first elastic structure to allow the first elastic structure and second elastic structure to form a 4D-printed elastomeric object, and converting the 4D-printed elastomeric object into the 4D-printed ceramic object.
