Abstract

See full text

A method of forming an active self-transformable material includes providing a flexible base material and disposing an active material on one or more surfaces of the flexible base material or within the flexible base material in a specific pattern to form a combined structure having a natural shape, wherein the active material is a material that is reactive to exposure to an external stimulus trigger, wherein the flexible base material is non-reactive to the external stimulus trigger, minimally reactive to the external stimulus trigger, or reactive to the external stimulus trigger differently than the active material, and wherein exposure of at least a portion of the specific pattern of the active material to the external stimulus trigger changes the shape of the combined structure from the natural shape into a predetermined 3-dimensional transformed shape.
