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 …

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

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 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 …

As a new class of smart materials, shape memory polymers and their composites (SMPs and
SMPCs) can respond to specific external stimulus and remember the original shape. There …

In this review, we highlight the recent progress made in light-controlled self-healing and
shape memory polymers. We analyse the materials design, underlying mechanisms and …

Shape-memory polymers are an emerging class of active polymers that have dual-shape
capability. They can change their shape in a predefined way from shape A to shape B when …

Shape‐changing polymers are an emerging class of smart stimuli‐responsive materials.
Among the different stimuli that could be used for polymer actuation, light has several …

Polymeric materials are clinically required for medical devices, as well as controlled drug
delivery systems. Depending on the application, the polymer has to provide suitable …
