摘要
En 中文
Two-dimensional (2D) geometrical shape-shifting is prevalent in nature, but remains challenging in man-made smart materials, which are typically limited to single-direction responses. Here, we fabricate geometrical shape-shifting bovine serum albumin (BSA) microstructures to achieve circle-to-polygon and polygon-to-circle geometrical transformations. In addition, transformative two-dimensional microstructure arrays are demonstrated by the ensemble of these responsive microstructures to confer structure-to-function properties. The design strategy of our geometrical shape-shifting microstructures focuses on embedding precisely positioned rigid skeletal frames within responsive BSA matrices to direct their anisotropic swelling under pH stimulus. This is achieved using layer-by-layer two photon lithography, which is a direct laser writing technique capable of rendering spatial resolution in the submicrometer length scale. By controlling the shape, orientation and number of the embedded skeletal frames, we have demonstrated well-defined arc-to-corner and corner-to-arc transformations, which are essential for dynamic circle-to-polygon and polygon-to-circle shape-shifting, respectively. We further fabricate our shape-shifting microstructures in periodic arrays to experimentally demonstrate the first transformative 2D patterned arrays. Such versatile array configuration transformations give rise to structure-to-physical properties, including array porosity and pore shape, which are crucial for the development of on-demand multifunctional smart materials, especially in the field of photonics and microfluidics.
