Implication

Experimental study reveals improved shape fixity and recovery in 4D-printed polylactic acid composites loaded with bioactive glass, highlighting potential for smart biomedical devices.

Key Points

Incorporation of bioactive glass into polylactic acid shape memory polymer composites significantly enhances both shape fixity and shape recovery through increased crystallinity.
Material fabrication was conducted by formulating a solvent-based 4D printing system using polylactic acid to evaluate the thermal and viscoelastic properties of the composites.
These responsive behaviors may enable the fabrication of complex self-foldable structures and smart biomedical devices using shape memory polymer composites with bioactive glass.
