This review is about the fundamentals and practical issues in applying both heating and
solvent responsive shape memory polymers (SMPs) for implant biomedical devices via …

After being severely and quasi-plastically deformed, shape memory materials are able to
return to their original shape at the presence of the right stimulus. After a brief presentation …

Shape memory polymers have attracted increasing research interest due to their capability
of fixing a temporary shape and associated deformation energy then releasing them later on …

Abstract Shape-memory polymers (SMPs), as an important class of smart materials, have
been attracting interests from both academia and industries. Over the past two decades, the …

A novel dynamic network was successfully prepared via self-complementary quadruple
hydrogen bonding through Upy-telechelic poly (tetremethylene ether) glycol (PTMEG) and …

This review paper summarizes the recent research progress in the underlying mechanisms
behind the shape memory effect (SME) and some newly discovered shape memory …

In this paper, the practicability of actuating the shape recovery of thermo-responsive shape
memory polymers (SMPs) filled with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been investigated. When …

This paper provides a brief review on the advanced shape memory technology (ASMT) with
a focus on polymeric materials. In addition to introducing the concept and fundamentals of …

The fourth dimension in 4D printing refers to the ability of materials to alter its form after they
are produced, thereby providing additional functional capabilities and performance-driven …

Shape memory polymers (SMP) are a class of stimuli-responsive materials which can
change shape upon activation. The objective of this study is to optimize the actuation (or …
