Shape morphing magnetic soft materials, composed of magnetic particles in a soft polymer matrix, can transform shapes reversibly, remotely, and rapidly, finding diverse applications in actuators, soft robotics, and biomedical devices. To achieve on-demand and sophisticated shape morphing, the manufacturing of structures with complex geometry and magnetization distribution is highly desired. Here, we report a magnetic dynamic polymer composite composed of hard-magnetic microparticles in a dynamic polymer network with thermal-responsive reversible linkages, which permit functionalities including targeted welding, magnetization reprogramming, and structural reconfiguration. These functions not only provide highly desirable structural and material programmability and reprogrammability but also enable the manufacturing of structures with complex geometry and magnetization distribution. The targeted welding is exploited for modular assembling of fundamental building modules with specific logics for complex actuation. The magnetization reprogramming enables altering the morphing mode of the manufactured structures. The shape reconfiguration under magnetic actuation is coupled with network plasticity to remotely transform two-dimensional tessellations into complex three-dimensional architectures, providing a new strategy of manufacturing functional soft architected materials such as three-dimensional kirigami. We anticipate that the reported magnetic dynamic polymer provides a new paradigm for the design and manufacturing of future multifunctional assemblies and reconfigurable morphing architectures and devices. |
