Abstract

ABSTRACT With the awakening of environmental awareness and the development of 4D printing, the availability of renewable materials for 4D printing has become increasingly important. A kind of soybean oil-based photosensitive resins were prepared to fabricate SMP parts with acrylate epoxy soybean oil/isobornyl methacrylate/nano-Fe3O4 (AESO/IBOMA/nano-Fe3O4) networks. The effects of IBOMA and nano-Fe3O4 concentration on mechanical and shape memory properties were systematically studied. The polymer can achieve high curing rate and printing accuracy. Break elongation of SMPs with 40 wt% IBOMA can up to 45.3% and tensile strength of SMPs with 60 wt% IBOMA can reach 44.3 MPa. The tensile-unload test results showed that the shape fixation rate and shape recovery rate of all formulations were higher than 90%. SMPs with 5 wt% Fe3O4 can be actuated by a magnetic field and complete an 82.47% shape recovery process in 40 s.
