Thermal Induced Shape Memory Polymers

Xiaoshuang Shi

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Thermostimulative shape memory polymers have the capability to change their shape on application of thermostimulus.This article reviewed the shape memory mechanism and producing techniques of the thermal induced shape memory polymers,and introduced several important shape memory polymers,especially for the new supramolecular shape memory materials and biodegradable polymers.The future trend of thermostimulative shape memory polymers was also suggested.
