Abstract 4D printing has attracted tremendous interest since its first conceptualization in
2013. 4D printing derived from the fast growth and interdisciplinary research of smart …

Shape memory polymer (SMP) and SMP composites (SMPC) can memorize the permanent
shape and recover from the temporary shape to the permanent shape when stimulated by …

Real-time monitoring of strain/stress in polymers is a big challenge to date. Herein, we for
the first time report an ESIPT (excited-state intramolecular proton transfer)-based …

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

As a kind of intelligent material, shape memory polymer (SMP) can respond to outside
stimuli and possesses good properties including shape memory effect, deformability and …

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

Shape memory polymers and their composites are capable to hold a temporary shape and
recover to the original shape upon exposure to a particular external stimulus. The stimulus …

Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) undergo significant macroscopic deformation upon the
application of an external stimulus (eg, heat, electricity, light, magnetism, moisture and even …

Recent developments in self-healing polymers (SHPs) have been fueled by the increasing
need for sustainable materials with extended life-spans and functionality. This review …

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 …
