Multidirectional Triple-Shape-Memory Polymer by Tunable Cross-linking and Crystallization
, 2020 Medical fixing is one of the very important applications of the shape-memory polymer material, and the two important properties of the medical fixing material are that it perfectly fits the body during the fixing and easily detaches after being used.

Multifunctional Shape‐Memory Polymers [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2010 AbstractThe thermally‐induced shape‐memory effect (SME) is the capability of a material to change its shape in a predefined way in response to heat. In shape‐memory polymers (SMP) this shape change is the entropy‐driven recovery of a mechanical deformation, which was obtained before by application of external stress and was temporarily fixed by ...

Materials Today, 2007 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 exposed to an appropriate stimulus. While shape B is given by the initial processing step, shape A is determined by applying a process called programming.
