Sentence examples for memory polymers are from inspiring English sources

Both transformation-preprogrammed 4D printing and 4D printing of shape memory polymers are intensively surveyed.

Most shape memory polymers are rigid and exhibit only one way (irreversible) shape memory effect.

Biodegradable shape memory polymers are attractive materials for the design of biomedical scaffolds as they allow deploying implants remotely with minimal intervention, whilst allowing degradation and tissue repair.

The shape memory polymers are obtained by reaction of the ABA block copolymers with hexamethylenediisocyanate and 1,4-butanediol as chain extender.

However, when the shape memory polymers are deformed when loaded, they have the ability to trap mechanical energy as internal energy and release this energy whenever an external stimulus causes a change in the molecular relaxation rate or in material morphology (Li 2014).

The physics and mechanics governing the shape memory effect in shape memory polymers is not fully understood at the nanoscale.

A polystyrene (PS) pane as a representative of thermo-responsive shape memory polymers is used as the main material for being remotely stimulated via light emission while the actuation hinges are made of printed chitosan hydrogel ink.

Shape-memory polymers are an emerging class of active polymers that have dual-shape capability.

Degradable shape-memory polymers are multifunctional materials with broad applicability for medical devices.

Shape-memory polymers are particularly intriguing: These materials can switch between two states — a harder, low-temperature, amorphous state, and a soft, high-temperature, rubbery state.

In this study, for industrial applications, a carbon fiber fabric reinforced shape memory polymer was developed.
