◆Background◆
In recent years, shape-memory polymers have attracted much attention from basic and
fundamental research to industrial and practical applications due to the cheap and efficient alternative to well-known metallic shape-memory alloys.
◆Aim◆
Shape-memory polymers are becoming one of the most powerful tools available to lead to a new generation of dynamic systems that are capable of responding to external stimuli with spatial precision.
