Key Points

  • The aim is to develop soft microactuators that respond to environmental changes for effective particle manipulation.
  • Utilized heterogeneous 4D printing techniques to fabricate soft microactuators.
  • Integrated microgrippers into a mobile platform for precise particle handling.
  • Modulated local pH levels to control the behavior of the microactuators.
  • Successfully demonstrated the capture, movement, and release of particles using the microactuators.
  • Achieved static capture of individual red blood cells in a biocompatible setup.

Abstract

Soft Actuators In article number 2311951, Haibo Yu, Wen Jung Li, and co-workers fabricated soft microactuators, designed to respond to environmental stimuli, using heterogeneous 4D printing techniques. A series of microgrippers, integrated into a 3D mobile platform, demonstrate precise particle capture, movement, and release by modulating local pH levels. Additionally, the static capture of individual red blood cells in a biocompatible environment has been successfully achieved.
