We were delighted to represent our research group at the 5th 4DMDA Conference (4D Materials Design and Additive Manufacturing) hosted by Dublin City University, Ireland.
“Total BIOMIMICRY as a Guideline for 4D Printed Composite Materials with Robust Response in Severe Environment”, introduced the Bionics team’s vision of Total Biomimicry as a framework for developing resilient 4D-printed composite materials. The work demonstrates how 4D printing can serve as a powerful bridge for transferring biological principles into engineering solutions capable of operating in demanding environments.
The second presentation, “Development of Self-Shaped 4D Printed Composite Structures for Space Applications”, jointly delivered by Prof. Antoine Le Duigou and Prof. Hoa van suong, one of the pioneers of 4D structural composite materials, focusing on the development of self-shaping 4D composite structures for future space applications.
