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

Research on shape–memory polymers (SMPs) has been actively conducted for more than
three decades. Recently, interest in this area has intensified. Even though there have been a …

Shape-morphing structures that can reconfigure their shape to adapt to diverse tasks are
highly desirable for intelligent machines in many interdisciplinary fields. Shape memory …

In this study, PLA-TPU blends with different component ratios were prepared and printed by
melt blending and fused deposition modeling (FDM), respectively. The shape memory effect …

In this research, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with excellent shape‐memory effects is 4D printed
via fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology. An experimental procedure for successful …

Shape memory materials can maintain temporary shapes without external constraints and
revert to their permanent shape upon exposure to an external stimulus, such as heat, light …

The main novelty of this paper is the use of poly-ethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) as a
new shape memory polymer with excellent shape memory effect (SME) and printability. In …

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 …

Healing-on-demand materials exhibit the capability to close cracks and heal the
closed/narrowed cracks when needed and to recover functionality using intrinsic or extrinsic …

In this article, programming is classified as hot, warm, and cold, based on the temperature
zone within which the programming is conducted. The strain and stress locking and …
