The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Shape Memory Polymer Research (2009, background): “(54), this phenomenon was explained in terms of thermal expansion (56) and structural relaxation during the glass transition (58).”
A thermodynamically-consistent 3 D constitutive model for shape memory polymers (2012, methodology): “Based on the experimental observations, time-dependent effects are of importance in constitutive modeling of polymeric materials (see e.g., Khan and Zhang (2001), Huber and Tsakmakis (2000) and Reese (2003) among others).”
Predicting thermal shape memory of crosslinked polymer networks from linear viscoelasticity (2012, methodology): “…the mechanical behavior (Tobushi et al. 1997, Morshedian et al 2005, Diani et al. 2006, the 3D variant of Heuchel et al., 2010) or volume fraction (Qi et al. 2008, Xu and Li 2010), whereas others rely on series of standard tension or compression tests at constant stress (Lin and Chen 1999, Hong…”
