Abstract: 4Dprinting is an emerging manufacturing technology combining 3D printing and stimuli-responsive materials. The core feature of 4D printing is that the 3D-printed structures undergo predetermined transformation in shape, property and functionality under external stimuli. Polymer-based materials are the prevalent materials used in 4D printing due to simplicity in processing, low production cost and convenience in property modification. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art technologies on 4D printing of polymer-based materials. First, the polymer materials used for 4D printing are categorized and analyzed according to different driven mechanisms. Then, the printing methods using various polymers are summarized based on different printing principles. The applications of 4D printed polymers in diverse fields, such as bio-medical engineering, robotics and aerospace, are also discussed. Finally, the encountered challenges for 4D printing of polymer-based materials are analyzed from three key aspects, i.e., printable stimuli-responsive materials, 3D printers and computer-aided mathematical modeling. In addition, the future prospects of polymer-based 4D printing technologies are presented.
