The use of additive manufacturing (AM) has moved well beyond prototyping and has been
established as a highly versatile manufacturing method with demonstrated potential to …

One of the most promising fields for shape‐memory polymers is the biomedical field. Shape‐
memory polymers that can be triggered by various (physiological) conditions such as …

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

Stimulus-responsive materials are able to response to a particular stimulus, such as, heat,
chemical, and light. As such, they are smarter and more intelligent than ordinary materials …

After being severely and quasi-plastically distorted, shape memory materials (SMMs) are
able to recover their original shape at the presence of the right stimulus. In recent years we …

With the additional dimension, 4D printing is emerging as a novel technique to enable
configuration switching in 3D printed items. In this paper, four major approaches, namely self …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs), a type of promising smart materials, are gradually applied
into digital light processing (DLP) technology to realize four-dimensional (4D) printing …

The polyurethane shape-memory polymer (SMP) developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industry,
Japan is not only thermo-responsive, but also moisture-responsive as recently found. The …

Based on the working mechanisms, a systematic literature review is logically presented to
reveal that the thermo-and chemo-responsive shape memory effects (SMEs) are not the …

4D printing can be defined as the fabrication of structures using smart materials that allow
the final object to change its shape, properties, or function in response to an external …
