Shape memory is the capability of a material to be deformed and fixed into a temporary
shape. Recovery of the original shape can then be triggered only by an external stimulus …

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 …

Classic rotating engines are powerful and broadly used but are of complex design and
difficult to miniaturize. It has long remained challenging to make large-stroke, high-speed …

Smart control of wettability on superwetting surfaces has aroused much attention in the past
few years. Compared with traditional strategies such as adjusting the surface chemistry …

Four-dimensional (4D) printing technology, as a next-generation additive manufacturing
method, enables printed objects to further change their shapes, functionalities, or properties …

Shape memory polymer (SMP) is capable of memorizing one or more temporary shapes and
recovering successively to the permanent shape upon various external stimuli. Beside of the …

This study presents a novel two-stage thiol-acrylate Michael addition-photopolymerization
(TAMAP) reaction to prepare main-chain liquid-crystalline elastomers (LCEs) with facile …

The fabrication of shape memory polymers that are mechanically robust and capable of
being induced by near-infrared (NIR) light and healing mechanical damage and the fatigued …

A photocurable triple shape memory polymer (TSMP) resin based on acrylic monomers and
an ion–pair comonomer (IPC) has been formulated and successfully 3D printed with a digital …

Smart control of surface wettability has attracted widespread attention, especially for
superhydrophobic surfaces. Based on the shape memory effect (SME) of the shape memory …
