Shape memory textiles – technological background and possible applications
Communications in Development and Assembling of Textile Products, 2021 While shape memory alloys (SMAs) and shape memory polymers (SMPs) can already be found in diverse applications, shape memory textiles are less often used. Nevertheless, they are regularly investigated. Typical ways to produce shape memory textiles (SMTs)
