Shape-memory polymers for multiple applications in the materials world (2016, methodology): “[50] copyright 2005 Nature Publishing Group for (a) and from Wu et al.”
Multi-shape active composites by 3D printing of digital shape memory polymers (2016, neutral): “Among active materials, shape memory polymers (SMPs) have been intensively studied because of their ability to generate a large shape change under an external stimuli us, such as temperature 19–21 , light 22 , electric 23,24 and magnetic fields 25,26 .”
Shape Memory Polymer Research (2009, background): “proved that fixing levels of 90% were achievable—much greater than for the comparable photofixing approach discussed elsewhere (43)—and that strain recovery was nearly complete, although very broad.”
Memory formation in matter (2018, background): “Alternative triggering mechanisms such as light (Lendlein et al., 2005) further expand the range of possible uses.”
