Stimulus Activated Shape Switching in Shape Memory Materials with Tailor Able Start/Finish Temperature/Time by Tao Xi Wang and Wei Min Huang* in Research in Medical & Engineering Sciences
The shape memory effect (SME) refers to the phenomenon of shape recovery in a severely pre-deformed material, but only when a right stimulus is applied. The materials with the SME are called
shape memory material (SMM), and typical stimuli include heat, chemical (including water/moisture), light, etc [1]. Right now, the family of SMM has expended significantly, and covers a range of different types of materials, including alloy, polymer and ceramic etc.
