• Self-folding origami: shape memory composites activated by uniform heating (2014, background): “SMPs typically behave elastically during their rubber state due to entanglement of their constituent polymer chains with direct neighbors; however, prolonged external stress results in slipping and disentangling of the polymer chains into new energetically favorable positions, resulting in plastic d”
• Smart materials in additive manufacturing: state of the art and trends (2018, background): “The SMMs are stimuli-responsive materials that have the designed properties to enable return from a deformed temporary shape to an original permanent shape via application of an external stimulus, such as temperature, magnetic fields, light and moisture (Lendlein and Kelch 2002; Yu et al. 2015).”
• A review of shape memory alloy research, applications and opportunities (2014, background): “The recovery precision of more than 99% makes SMPs suitable for highly demanding applications [180].”
• Superhydrophobic surfaces for corrosion protection: a review of recent progresses and future directions (2015, background): “SMPs are stimulisensitive materials which are able to recover to their original shapes from temporarily deformed shapes by heat, light, or other environmental triggers.(132,133) Chen and Yang have fabricated an SMP-based superhydrophobic surface based on epoxy micropillar arrays using a templating m”
• Investigating the shape memory properties of 4D printed polylactic acid (PLA) and the concept of 4D printing onto nylon fabrics for the creation of smart textiles (2017, background): “Then they can be fixed into a temporary shape through mechanical deformation in a method called programming (Behl and Lendlein 2007).”
