Two-way shape memory polymers (2WSMP) are highly desired for artificial muscles, soft
actuators and sensors, while the stress-free 2WSMP greatly expands the practical potential …

The work output of shape memory polymers during shape shifting is desired for practical
application as actuators. Herein, a polyolefin elastomer (POE) and paraffin wax (PW) are co …

Complex and controlled reversible actuation inevitably relies on changing thermal fields
(direct or indirect) for semi-crystalline reversible shape memory networks. Unfortunately, the …

Semicrystalline polymers are promising candidates for preparing reversible or two-way
shape-memory polymer (SMP) networks. However, there is a lack of facile and effective …

Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) are smart materials that can alter their configuration in
response to external stimuli. They have shown promise in a number of application areas …

Abstract Poly (styrene-b-[ethylene-co-butylene]-b-styrene)(SEBS)/paraffin system is a
promising class of shape memory polymers and the transition temperature of such materials …

Facing the increasing challenge of plastic pollution, environmental friendly biodegradable
polymer films with excellent mechanical properties have gained widespread attention. Here …

Thermally-driven semi-crystalline polymer networks are capable to achieve both the one-
way shape-memory effect and two-way shape-memory effect under stress and stress-free …

Stimuli-responsive materials can self-shape, but most of these materials exhibit
discontinuous actuation and a single motion mode. Growing interest in addressing these …

Surface-patterned phase transition on network-homogeneous hydrogels remains a
challenge. Herein, a general electrochemistry protocol is proposed which changes the local …
