Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are smart and adaptive materials able to recover their
shape through an external stimulus. This functionality, combined with the good …

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 …

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 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 …

Shape-memory materials, ie, polymers (SMPs: shape-memory polymers) and alloys (SMAs:
shape-memory alloys), have been developed in very different ways since they are …

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

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the technology and applications
of shape‐memory materials (SMMs). Design/methodology/approach–This paper initially …

Shape memory polymer (SMP) is a smart material that can revert from a temporary shape to
a permanent shape under external stimuli, showing great potential for applications in …

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 …

In recent years, significant progress has been made in polymeric materials, which alter
shape upon external stimuli, suggesting potential applications in robotics, biomedical …
