4D-Printed Sulfur Waste Soft Robots Move Autonomously
Korean researchers have created the world's first 4D printing technology using industrial sulfur waste, producing recyclable soft robots that autonomously move and change shape in response to heat, light, and magnetic fields.
Key Takeaways
- World's first 4D printing tech using industrial sulfur waste produces soft robots that autonomously move in response to heat, light, and magnetic fields
- New poly(phenylene polysulfide) polymer networks feature dynamic sulfur-sulfur bonds that enable full recyclability
