Researchers at KRICT, Hanyang University and Sejong University have unveiled the world’s first 4D‑printing platform that uses sulfur‑rich polymers derived from petroleum‑refining waste. By engineering a loosely cross‑linked sulfur polymer network, the material can be extruded, printed, and programmed to change shape when exposed to heat, light or magnetic fields. The technology enables self‑actuating soft robots as small as one centimeter and features a rapid near‑infrared laser welding process. After use, the printed parts can be melted and reused, achieving 100 % material recyclability.
