Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Optimized PLA hinge achieved 99.53% recovery after first folding cycle. • Recovery ratio dropped to ∼ 25 % after 50 cycles at 65 °C. • Training temperature governs trade-off between actuation speed and lifespan. • Origami-inspired structure with optimized hinge design fully deployed within 8 s.
