One of the most promising fields for shape‐memory polymers is the biomedical field. Shape‐
memory polymers that can be triggered by various (physiological) conditions such as …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs), as a class of programmable stimuli-responsive shape
changing polymers, are attracting increasing attention from the standpoint of both …

One achievement we can be proud of is that the current edition, the sixth, has returned to the
place where this scientific event originated, and takes place in the year in which the …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) represent a highly interesting class of materials. As one
representative of the intelligent polymeric systems, these materials gained significant …

Shape‐switching behavior, where a transient stimulus induces an indefinitely stable
deformation that can be recovered on exposure to another transient stimulus, is critical to …

Materials with switchable mechanical properties are widespread in living organisms and
endow many species with traits that are essential for their survival. Many of the mechanically …

The rapid development of additive manufacturing and advances in shape memory materials
have fueled the progress of four-dimensional (4D) printing. With the right external stimulus …

Supramolecular materials, dynamic materials by nature, are defined as materials whose
components are bridged via reversible connections and undergo spontaneous and …

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 …

Hydrogels were prepared with physical cross-links comprising 2-ureido-4 [1H]-pyrimidinone
(UPy) hydrogen-bonding units within the backbone of segmented amphiphilic …
