Abstract Stimuli-responsive materials can alter their physicochemical properties, e.g., shape, color, or stiffness, upon exposure to an external trigger, e.g., heat, light, or humidity, exhibiting environmental adaptability. Among them, shape memory materials are limited by their multi-shape memory effect and the complex thermomechanical programming. In this work, we harness the distinct temperature-dependent elastic moduli of two 3D-printable polymers, that do not rely upon their intrinsic shape memory effect and compositional alteration to generate robust and simplified multi-shape memory responses in a variety of stimuli-responsive mechanical metamaterials, bypassing the typical intricate programming of conventional multi-shape memory polymers.… More >
