  • Patent number: 12005633
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for photo-curing 4D printing of a multi-layer structure with an adjustable shape recovery speed, and a multi-layer structure printed thereby. The multi-layer structure printed by the method for photo-curing 4D printing of the multi-layer structure with the adjustable shape recovery speed includes a plurality of deformation units sequentially connected in series, and each of the plurality of the deformation units includes two slow layers, a fast layer, and a transition layer; and the fast layer is arranged between the two slow layers, and the transition layer is arranged between at least one of the two slow layers and the fast layer. In the present disclosure, a low cross-linking layer is doped with a nanocarbon light-absorbing material to solve the problem that the low cross-linking layer is prone to over-curing when a high cross-linking layer is printed on the low cross-linking layer.
