Abstract

Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) have emerged as a multi-functional materials platform and have been proposed for a variety of applications ranging from simple actuators to biomedical devices. The shape-memory cycle is demonstrated through a three-step process of programming, storage, and recovery. In this paper, recent findings that associate each step of the shape-memory cycle to unique recovery behavior are highlighted. The article focuses on the influence of deformation temperature, long-term storage (physical aging), partially constrained recovery, and mechanically driven recovery with respect to shape-memory behavior.
