Mechanisms of the shape memory effect in polymeric materials. Polymers, 5(4), 1169-1202. | Series/Report no.: | Polymers | Abstract: | This review paper summarizes the recent research progress in the underlying mechanisms behind the shape memory effect (SME) and some newly discovered shape memory phenomena in polymeric materials. It is revealed that most polymeric materials, if not all, intrinsically have the thermo/chemo-responsive SME. It is demonstrated that a good understanding of the fundamentals behind various types of shape memory phenomena in polymeric materials is not only useful in design/synthesis of new polymeric shape memory materials (SMMs) with tailored performance, but also helpful in optimization of the existing ones, and thus remarkably widens the application field of polymeric SMMs | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/100296 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/18643 |
