Stimulus-responsive materials are able to response to a particular stimulus, such as, heat,
chemical, and light. As such, they are smarter and more intelligent than ordinary materials …

After being severely and quasi-plastically distorted, shape memory materials (SMMs) are
able to recover their original shape at the presence of the right stimulus. In recent years we …

Over the past decades, interest in shape memory polymers (SMPs) has persisted, and
immense efforts have been dedicated to developing SMPs and their multifunctional …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) have received immense attention from materials research
community thanks to their unrivaled properties such as high recoverable strains (up to …

A shape memory material (shape memory alloy (SMA) or shape memory polymer (SMP))
can experience large deformation and recover its original shape when exposed to a specific …

A review is presented of the current research and development of shape-memory materials,
including shape-memory alloys, shape-memory ceramics and shape-memory polymers. The …
