Shape memory is the capability of a material to be deformed and fixed into a temporary
shape. Recovery of the original shape can then be triggered only by an external stimulus …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs), as a class of programmable stimuli-responsive shape
changing polymers, are attracting increasing attention from the standpoint of both …

Abstract 4D printing of shape memory polymers (SMPs) endows the 3D printed structures
with tunable shape-changing behavior and functionalities that opens up new avenues …

Two-way shape memory polymers (2W-SMPs) are a novel class of shape memory polymers
with the reversible and programmable shape-changing behavior which have gained …

The past decade has witnessed remarkable advances in stimuli-responsive shape memory
polymers (SMPs) with potential applications in biomedical devices, aerospace, textiles, civil …

Recent developments in self-healing polymers (SHPs) have been fueled by the increasing
need for sustainable materials with extended life-spans and functionality. This review …

Shape memory polymer (SMP) is a smart material that can revert from a temporary shape to
a permanent shape under external stimuli, showing great potential for applications in …

Classic rotating engines are powerful and broadly used but are of complex design and
difficult to miniaturize. It has long remained challenging to make large-stroke, high-speed …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are smart materials capable of changing their shapes in a
predefined manner under a proper applied stimulus and have gained considerable interest …

Reading out the temperature-memory of polymers, which is their ability to remember the
temperature where they were deformed recently, is thus far unavoidably linked to erasing …
