Controlling the self-folding of a polymer sheet using a local heater: the effect of the polymer-heater interface

Self-folding of a pre-strained shape memory polymer (SMP) sheet was demonstrated using local joule heating. Folding is caused by shrinkage variation across the thickness of the SMP sheet. The folding direction can be controlled by the interfacial interaction between the heater and the SMP sheet. Whe...
