representative of the intelligent polymeric systems, these materials gained significant …

This paper provides an overview of available innovative shape morphing building skins and
their design principles. In particular, the proposed review deals with comfort-related issues …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are intelligent materials that can sense and react to
external environmental stimuli instantaneously. SMPs (eg, polycaprolactone, polylactic acid …

Abundant, inexpensive, renewable, and nontoxic carbon dioxide (CO2) has become an
attractive feedstock for chemical and polymer syntheses. The use of CO2 as a sustainable …

The worldwide request for clean water and renewable energy is growing rapidly due to the
rising population, changing ways of life, expanding economies, and increased utilization of …

A shape memory material (shape memory alloy (SMA) or shape memory polymer (SMP))
can experience large deformation and recover its original shape when exposed to a specific …

In this work, shape memory materials were developed for use as soft actuators. Shape
memory polymers (SMPs) generally demonstrate good actuation on direct thermal heating …

Emerging incidences of microbial diseases have imposed an alarming condition leading to
the greatest threats to global health. The development of antimicrobial resistance among the …

We report the fabrication of graphene oxide (GO) based polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites
by a simple method of mixing and their shape memory properties at different temperatures …

In this study, a nanocarrier was prepared for targeted delivery of doxorubicin (DOX), as a
drug model, to cancer cells. To this end, nontoxic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs) were first …
