Abstract
Mechanical metamaterials are becoming increasingly important in the recent ten years due to the capacity to explore more possibilities to endow customized and tunable mechanical performance. Thermoresponsive materials and latticed metamaterials based on N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and 2-Hydroxyethylacrylate (HEA) were prepared by DLP printer in presence of Irgacure 819 as photoinitiator. The aim of the work reported here was to investigate temperature sensitive swelling and mechanical properties of the materials and latticed metamaterials in water of different temperature. The result indicated that the PNIPAM-based photo curable resin can be successfully used in DLP 3D printing complex lattice structure. And the elongation at break improves in collapse state hydrogel compared to the dry state. The hydrogel is fragile at lower temperatures.
