Shape-memory materials (SMMs) are characterized by their unique ability to remember and
recover their shape in response to external stimuli. Over recent decades, the use of SMMs in …

The thermally‐induced shape‐memory effect (SME) is the capability of a material to change
its shape in a predefined way in response to heat. In shape‐memory polymers (SMP) this …

Shape-memory polymers are an emerging class of active polymers that have dual-shape
capability. They can change their shape in a predefined way from shape A to shape B when …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) belong to a class of smart polymers, which have drawn
considerable research interest in last few years because of their applications in …

The ability of polymers to move actively in response to an external stimulus such as heat or
light is of high scientific and technological significance. In any instance stimuli-responsive …
