The state agency “BIOPRO Baden-Württemberg” has published an article about the research of Cluster PI Eva Blasco and her group on printed intelligent 4D polymers. It illuminates the possible applications of the programmable polymer materials with lifelike properties in the medical sector, e.g., for implants, self-healing tissue or microrobotics. Prof. Blasco and her team at the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials at Heidelberg University managed to produce microscopically small 4D structures from intelligent polymers that can be tailored to individual requirements.
