Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a remarkable class of stimuli‐responsive materials capable of undergoing substantial deformation and subsequently recovering their original shape when exposed to ...

Researchers have developed a shape memory polymer that stores almost six times more energy than previous versions. When stretched or deformed, shape memory polymers return to their original shapes ...

Polymers that exhibit shape-memory effect (SME) are an important class of materials in medicine, especially for minimally invasive deployment of devices. Professor Subbu Venkatraman and his group from ...

Over the past few decades, food packaging markets have captured the attention of researchers due to their direct impact on human health. Both metallic and nonmetallic materials find use in the food ...
