Vitrimer-Like Shape Memory Polymers: Characterization and Applications in Reshaping and Manufacturing

The shape memory effect (SME) refers to the ability of a material to recover its original shape, but only in the presence of a right stimulus. Most polymers, either thermo-plastic or thermoset, can have the SME, although the actual shape memory performance varies according to the exact material and...
