Since the discovery of the shape-memory polymers (SMPs) in the 1980s, international research interest into the shape-memory effect in polymers has been rapidly growing [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. The SMPs are stimuli-responsive smart materials with the ability to undergo ...
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are attractive materials due to their unique mechanical properties, including high deformation capacity and shape recovery. SMPs are easier to process, lightweight, and inexpensive compared to their metallic counterparts, shape memory alloys. However, SMPs are limited to re...
