Abstract

The article delves into the advancements in 3D printing of magnetoactive epoxy shape memory composites, focusing on the correlation between rheology, printability, and shape fidelity. It emphasizes the significance of surface treatment using PEG for Fe3O4 particles, which enhances dispersion, reduces agglomeration, and improves magnetic properties. The study also explores the rheological behavior and shear-thinning characteristics of the composites, demonstrating how surface treatment leads to better flow consistency and shape retention after printing. The findings offer valuable insights into the development of optimized 3D printable epoxy-based inks, paving the way for applications in shape-morphing robots, sensors, and actuators.
