Primary Goals<\/strong>: Design and fabricate unique metamaterials with architectures based on the waterbomb origami structure. Hydrogels exhibiting shape memory through reversible cross-links that are sensitive to stimuli and switch between two stable configurations upon the application or release of a compressive force.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broader Impacts<\/strong>: Successful replication of this behavior would enable us to use this technology in stimuli-triggered actuation, drug delivery, and production of membranes with variable permeability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
