Morphing, understood as the ability to undergo pronounced shape adaptations to optimally
respond to a diversity of operational conditions, has been singled out as a future direction in …

We present a phenomenological thermodynamic model to study the constitutive relations
and working mechanism of the chemo-responsive shape memory effect (SME) in shape …

Glass transition plays a critical role to determine the dynamic behaviors of amorphous shape
memory polymers (SMPs). However, the fundamental relationships between shape memory …

We demonstrate that phase-segregated poly (ester urethane)(PEU) with crystallizable
switching segments of poly (1, 4-butylene adipate)(PBA) excels as high-performance …

Sequential glass and melting transitions in semi-crystalline shape memory polymers (SMPs)
provide great opportunities to design and generate multiple shape-memory effects (SMEs) …

Phase transition theory is a powerful approach to study shape-memory effect (SME) and
dynamic relaxation behaviour in amorphous shape-memory polymers (SMPs) undergoing …

Solvent-cast films from shape memory poly (ester urethane)(PEU) containing different
weight contents of microencapsulated thermochromic pigments (T-PIGs) were prepared by …

Using a continuum-based design sensitivity analysis (DSA) method, a configuration design
optimization method is developed for curved Kirchhoff beams with shape memory polymers …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) have good properties of recovering their original shape in
the presence of an external stimulus. However, the thermodynamic behaviors behind the …

This paper presents a novel shape morphing concept, which exploits neutral stability to
achieve reversible shape morphing. The concept is based on actively changing the material …
