Ngaphambi kokuba ndiqale, ndingathanda ukukuxelela ngokuchanekileyo malunga nomntu obiza isihloko sesi sithuba, Howon lee, ugqirha kunye nomphandi we IYunivesithi yaseRutgers obengumphenyi okhokelayo weqela lomsebenzi elikwazileyo ukwenza indlela entsha yokuprinta ye-4D ukusuka kwijeli ekrelekrele abanokuthi bakwazi ngayo ukuphuhlisa oko bona ngokwabo bakubiza ngokuba 'kukuphila' kumalungu omzimba nakwizicubu zomzimba, iirobhothi ezithambileyo. ..
Ukucacisa into elula njengokushicilelwa kwe-4D, khankanya nje ukuba isekhona Ukuprintwa kwe3D okunokutshintsha ubume. Ngeli thuba, uhlobo olutsha lwe ihydrogel Ingasetyenzwa kwiprinta ye-3D kwaye, ukuba kukho nayiphi na into eyenziweyo, ibangela ukuba itshintshe imilo ngobushushu.
Le hydrogel intsha isivumela ukuba sivavanye ngento eyaziwa ngokuba yishicilelo se4D
Ngokusekwe ephepheni elisandula ukupapashwa liqela labaphandi, xelela ukuba kubonakala ngathi ukushicilelwa kwe-3D hydrogel kuyabonakala ngokukhawuleza, kulula ukuvelisa kwaye ivumela ukuvelisa naluphi na uhlobo lwenxalenye kwisisombululo esiphezulu. Zonke izinto ezenziwe ngale hydrogel zihlala ziqinile kwaye zinokugcina ukumila kwazo nangona zinamanzi.
Umbono wokusetyenziswa kolu hlobo lwehydrogel kukufezekisa, umzekelo, ukwenziwa kwothotho lwamachiza athi, ngenxa yokuqina kwawo, anokufakwa naphi na emzimbeni kwaye akhulule umxholo wawo ngokuchanekileyo kwindawo eboniswe nje sebenzisa ubushushu kwindawo ethe ngqo yomzimba.
Njengoko utitshala ephawule Howon lee:
Siqalisile ukukhangela amandla apheleleyo ale hydrogel. Songeza enye inkalo kuyo, kwaye eli lixesha lokuqala ukuba nabani na ayenze kule nqanaba. Zizinto eziguqukayo ezinesakhono sokutshintsha imilo. Ndiyathanda ukubabiza ngokuba zizinto ezifanelekileyo.
Ukuba unolawulo olupheleleyo lwemilo, emva koko unokucwangcisa ukusebenza kwayo. Ndicinga ukuba eli ligunya lokutshintsha kwemilo yokutshintsha kwe3D.
