Extended Data Fig. 8: Actuation performance of 3D-printed shape-programmable soft materials.
From: Printing ferromagnetic domains for untethered fast-transforming soft materials
a, Energy density and actuation rate of our magnetically responsive structures presented in Figs. 1–3 are plotted and compared with those of existing 3D-printed shape-programmable soft materials in the literature27,28,29,30,32,35,36,37,38,39,40. b, Power density is calculated as energy density multiplied by the actuation rate of each material and plotted for comparison; the materials are listed in order of increasing power densities. PNIPAAm = poly(N-isopropylacrylamide); PMBA = poly(benzyl methacrylate); PHEMA = poly(hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate); PLA = poly(lactic acid); RM82 = 1,4-bis-[4-(6-acryloyloxhexyloxy)benzoyloxy]-2-methylbenzene. TangoBlack and VeroClear are commercially available acrylic photocurable polymers from Stratasys Ltd.
