Abstract
an inverse D-A decrosslinking reaction upon thermal treatment. This straightforward approach for fabricating a pattern of a single layer on an SMP surface with a spatial gradient network opens a new avenue for functional smart materials, which expands the technological perspectives in many fields of flexible electronics, smart actuators, switching sensors and soft robotics.
