“…As mentioned earlier, 3D printing materials, when specifically designed, can be also utilized in 4D printing, usually in fabrication of structures made with layered materials. Examples include layered bimaterial structures with PLA and TPU [40] or bilayer single material structures incorporating polyethylene glycol (PEG) [8].…”

This article offers a thorough review of the current state-of-the-art in four-dimensional (4D) printed antennas and possible adaptable designs. It provides a succinct examination of various categories of materials used in three-dimensional (3D) and 4D printing, including the utilization of smart materials available in both printable and synthesized forms. The review encompasses a concise analysis of fabrication techniques, stimuli, and response behaviors applied in various types of smart materials. These materials have the potential to fabricate antennas with tunable and reconfigurable properties, including frequency of operation, bandwidth, gain, and radiation pattern. Given the novelty of applying 4D printing in antenna technologies, the review also considers additional reconfigurable antennas with mechanically tunable properties, as well as those in non-printed formats. This exploration hints at potential adaptations to the latter for the development of 4D printed antennas. The utilization of 4D printing presents a complex yet intriguing approach to antenna fabrication, offering the possibility of creating dynamic antennas with sophisticated characteristics.

“…24−26 The 3D printing of soft actuators has evolved from producing individual parts of soft actuators to manufacturing entire parts using smart materials. 27,28 4D printing of soft actuators is realized by introducing smart materials, such as liquid crystal elastomer, shape memory polymer, and MSMs, which change their shape in response to external stimuli such as light, 29 heat, 30,31 electric, 32,33 and magnetic fields 34,35 into 3D printing approach. Recently, 4D printing of MSMSs with complex 3D shapes has widely employed to realize soft actuators with a high degree of control freedom.…”

The Special Issue “4D Printing: State-of-the-art, Recent Trends, and Applications” highlights the significant impact of scientific advancements on practical and innovative applications. It focuses on the interdisciplinary challenges of multi-material printability on a voxel basis and optimizing the actuation performance of composite structures with various stimuli. Key considerations, such as mechanical strength and potential adverse effects, shape the design methods suited to specific quantitative data limitations. Four-dimensional printing calls for creativity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and practical applications. While recognizing experience-based approaches in research, this review paper emphasizes integrating science and technology through alternative strategies; innovative approaches; and the exploration of engineering, design, and artificial intelligence.
