Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of Functional Biomaterials | Volume: | 10 | Issue: | 1 | Abstract: | 3D printing of polymers can now be considered as a common processing technology for the development of biomaterials. These can be constituted out of polymeric abiotic material alone or can be co-printed with living cells. However, the adaptive and shape-morphing characteristics cannot be developed with the rigid, pre-determined structures obtained by 3D printing. In order to produce functional engineered biomaterials, the dynamic properties/characteristics of the living cells must be attained. 4D printing can be envisaged as a route to achieve these goals. This paper intends to give a brief review of the pioneer 4D printing research that has been developed and to present an insight into future research in this field. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/107086 | ISSN: | 2079-4983 | DOI: | 10.3390/jfb10010009 | Rights: | openAccess |
