Abstract
The recent innovation in additive manufacturing (AM) of continuous fiber-reinforced composites (CFRCs) provided great potential for the design and production of high-performance complex composite structures at low cost. However, existing studies mainly focused on the manufacturing process and mechanical performances of the three-dimensional (3D) printed CFRCs without paying the necessary attention to exploring their new potential applications and functionalities. Application of smart materials like shape memory polymers (SMPs) in AM of CFRC structures leads to four-dimensional (4D) printing of smart multifunction composite structures with great potential for different industries such as aerospace, automotive, and biomedical. Simultaneously, these smart structures can exhibit excellent mechanical capabilities and possess additional features, such as self-sensing properties, energy storage capability, shape-morphing behavior, and shape recovery ability. The primary focus of this review is to discuss the latest developments in the 4D printing of smart multifunctional CFRCs in terms of the manufacturing process, materials used, potential applications, obstacles encountered, and future prospects.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
