3D/4D printing of stimuli-responsive polymers in biomedical engineering: Materials, stimulations, and applications
Four-dimensional (4D) printing integrates smart materials with three-dimensional (3D) printing to create structures that undergo programmable shape or property changes. These transformations are triggered by external stimuli including humidity, light, heat, electric fields, or magnetic fields. Leveraging adaptability, self-regulation, and self-deformation capabilities, this technology shows transformative potential in biomedical engineering applications such as tissue engineering, implantable devices, drug delivery systems, and precision medical instruments. This review systematically examines 4D printing's role in biomedical innovation, focusing on material selection, stimulus-response mechanisms, and emerging applications. Following an overview of 4D printing's foundational concepts and principles, the analysis delves into stimulus-responsive polymers in biomedical contexts. The transformative potential of shape-morphing polymers is explored across smart implants, adaptive medical devices, controlled drug release platforms, biofabricated organs, and minimally invasive surgical solutions. Current trends and future trajectories in biomedical 3D/4D printing are critically evaluated, highlighting technical challenges, material innovation opportunities, and translational pathways for clinical implementation in this dynamic interdisciplinary field.
