A review on shape memory polymers

Polymer-Plastics Technology and Materials, 2022
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) is a type of smart polymers. Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) allow for the development of stimuli-responsive polymer-based materials that can undergo substantial recoverable deformation in response to an external stimulus. Shape-

Shape-Memory Polymers

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2002
Material scientists predict a prominent role in the future for self-repairing and intelligent materials. Throughout the last few years, this concept has found growing interest as a result of the rise of a new class of polymers. These so-called shape-memory polymers by far surpass well-known metallic shape-memory alloys in their shape-memory properties.

Soft and Stretchable Liquid Metal Composites with Shape Memory and Healable Conductivity.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2021
Shape memory composites are fascinating materials with the ability to preserve deformed shapes that recover when triggered by certain external stimuli. Although elastomers are not inherently shape memory materials, the inclusion of phase-change materials

Shaping tissue with shape memory materials

Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2013
After being severely and quasi-plastically deformed, shape memory materials are able to return to their original shape at the presence of the right stimulus. After a brief presentation about the fundamentals, including various shape memory effects, working mechanisms, and typical shape memory materials for biomedical applications, we summarize some ...

Parental memories shape seeds

Trends in Plant Science, 2009
It is ten years since imprinting was first demonstrated in Arabidopsis, following the realization, five years earlier, that some genetic controls of seed development did not conform to Mendelian inheritance. Sixteen imprinted genes have since been identified in maize and Arabidopsis and these are expressed primarily in the endosperm, which nurtures ...

Shape Memory Alloys

JOM, 1979
Shape-memory alloys are capable of undergoing reversible phase transitions as a result of temperature, pressure, or other stress-related changes. These materials exhibit a mechanical type of shape memory called pseudoelasticity and, under certain conditions, linear superelasticity. The recoverable strain or shape is generally .

Shape‐Memory Polymers for Biomedical Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, 2020
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 temperature and moisture have been reported, as well as remotely triggerable ...
