In contrast to conventional hard actuators, soft actuators offer many vivid advantages, such
as improved flexibility, adaptability, and reconfigurability, which are intrinsic to living …

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 three-dimensional (3D) printing of flexible and stretchable materials with smart functions
such as shape memory (SM) and self-healing (SH) is highly desirable for the development of …

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 …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are capable of changing their shapes in a pre-defined
manner under a stimulus, and have gained considerable interest in the past decades …

To enable repeated intrinsic self-healing of wider cracks in polymers, a proof-of-concept
approach is verified in the present work. It operates through two-way shape memory effect …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are smart materials that can change their shape in a pre-
defined manner under a stimulus. The shape memory functionality has gained considerable …

Here, we report on a polymer blend consisting of a soft thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
elastomer and a low melting temperature thermoplastic healing agent (polycaprolactone …

Two-way reversible shape memory polymers (2W-SMPs) are highly desirable for many
applications. We report for the first time the use of random copolymers with cocrystallizable …

In this paper, we propose a new method to prepare an external stress free two-way shape
memory polymer. The core advance lies in the introduction of alkoxyamine moieties into the …
