Abstract" Life" represents a distinctive attribute inherent to organisms in nature, evident in
their capacity to actively adapt to changes in their environment. In contrast to the static and …

Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) have gradually emerged in the mechanism and
biomedical fields and facilitate the upgrading of industrial mechanisms and the …

Shape memory polymers, with intrinsic enhanced strength and high thermal stability, are
highly demanded in aerospace, engineering manufacturing, and spatial structures. In this …

To realize the one‐dimensional deformation of morphing wings, zero Poisson's ratio (ZPR)
honeycomb metamaterials have become a popular research topic due to their lightweight …

The current study identifies and investigates the shape memory response of poly ether
