Thermosensation

Thermosensation

Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

Background:

Developing intelligent 3D printing materials with responsive properties is challenging for sustainable applications.
Existing materials often lack reprocessability, multifunctionality, and precise control over dynamic behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

To create a solvent-free, photoprintable ink with dual photo- and thermally responsive properties.
To achieve reprocessability and multifunctionality in 3D printed materials.

Main Methods:

Formulation of a resin with dual dynamic covalent bonds (DCBs): dynamic disulfides and β-hydroxy esters.
Incorporation of photoswitchable spiropyran additives for tunable photochromic and thermochromic properties.
Utilizing 3D printing techniques for fabrication of responsive prototypes.

Main Results:

The developed ink exhibits simultaneous photo- and thermal responsiveness.
The material demonstrates tunable photochromic and thermochromic behaviors.
Printed prototypes show shape memory functionality and exceptional thermal stability.

Conclusions:

This work presents a sustainable and innovative solution for intelligent 3D printing materials.
The material bridges the gap between multifunctionality and reprocessability.
Advancements in responsive materials enable transformative progress in adaptive manufacturing and functional devices.
