Shape-memory materials (SMMs), also sometimes known as smart materials, are distinguished by their capacity to recover a predetermined shape after a remarkable mechanical deformation under different alterations such as temperature.
SMMs have been extensively developed and applied in smart structure technology. The term “memory” refers to the ability of SMM to regain the trained shape from a deformed shape in response to specific external stimuli (eg. heat). Shape memory alloy (SMA) and shape memory polymer (SMP) are two types of most commonly used SMM’s.
Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) are superior to SMA’s in many respects. For instance, they are easily processable, cost-effective and lighter, and possess greater recoverable strain. Moreover, they are various stimuli-responsive and their material properties can easily be tuned.
