Lawrence Livermore creates 4D printed silicone with direct ink writing and shape memory polymers

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has published research into 4D printed silicones. LLNL combines its direct ink writing method with shape memory polymers to create silicone structures that can recover from periods of compression.The shape changing silicone structures could have a broad range of applications, especially in the medical industry.
