Metamaterials: Kirigami‐Inspired Inflatables with Programmable Shapes (Adv. Mater. 33/2020)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 2001863, Katia Bertoldi and co-workers fabricate the first programmable kirigami balloons: soft devices that can be automatically designed to morph into a target shape upon inflation. This work provides a new platform for shape-morphing devices that could support the design of innovative medical tools, actuators, and reconfigurable structures. Cover art: Antonio Elia Forte.
