Shape-memory (SM) in traditional SM polymers (SMPs) is typically achieved in three steps including programming, storage and recovery 1,2,3,4,5,6. Programming involves deforming a bulk SMP sample from ...

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a remarkable class of stimuli‐responsive materials capable of undergoing substantial deformation and subsequently recovering their original shape when exposed to ...

Polymers that exhibit shape-memory effect (SME) are an important class of materials in medicine, especially for minimally invasive deployment of devices. Professor Subbu Venkatraman and his group from ...

A recent article published in Small Science introduces fully bioderived, four-dimensional (4D) printable shape memory polymers (SMPs) with linear tunability and remotely controlled actuation ...

In a recent review published in Micromachines, researchers from Spain and Portugal highlighted the synergistic combination of shape-memory polymers (SMP) with carbon nanotubes (CNT) to enhance ...

Using components made from smart shape-memory materials with slightly different responses to heat, researchers have demonstrated a four-dimensional printing technology that allowed creation of complex ...

The shape-memory polymer was used to 3D-print several structures, including a replica of the Eiffel tower. Microstereolithography, pioneered by the researchers, uses light from a projector to print ...

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) can remember different shapes and can be recovered to their permanent shapes from temporary shapes with appropriate stimuli, such as heat, humidity, and electrical field.

Over the past few decades, food packaging markets have captured the attention of researchers due to their direct impact on human health. Both metallic and nonmetallic materials find use in the food ...
