Abstract
Investigation of self‐folding thin films, which mimic natural mechanisms of movement and form complex 3D structures, is a novel and very promising research direction. This manuscript summarizes recent advances in the development and application of biomimetic self‐folding polymer films. magnified imageKeywords
