Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have gained significant attraction from both industrial and
academic sectors, thanks to their biodegradability, non-toxicity, and renewability with …

In recent years, there has been a growing focus among researchers on enhancing the
mechanical performance of Additively Manufactured (AM) polymers. The ultimate goal is to …

Self-healing materials suffer from a trade-off relationship between their self-healing ability
and mechanical strength, which limits their applications. Therefore, we developed a room …

Light-responsive shape memory polymers are attractive as they can be activated through
remote and spatially-controlled light. In this work, 4D printing of poly (lactic acid)(PLA) …

This work presents the experimental steps taken towards the preparation of 3D printable
bionanocomposites using polylactic acid (PLA) biopolymer containing 0.1, 0.5 and 1 wt …

Abstract Four-dimensional (4D) printing has led to the development of novel pre-
configurable shape-memory textiles that transform with time. By 4D printing onto textile …

Growing concerns about environmental issues and global warming have garnered
increased attention in recent decades. Consequently, the use of materials sourced from …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a class of smart materials that, when excited by a
stimulus, can revert to their original shape after being temporarily deformed. Due to its …

There is a growing need to address waste generated from Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)
3D printing activities. This study explores the mechanical recycling of waste polylactic acid …

Global environmental concerns have recently accelerated interest in the usage of
biodegradable polymers to replace petroleum-based conventional plastics. Lactic acid …
