Scientists develop fully biobased, 4D-printable shape memory polymers from plant-derived acrylates, enabling tunable, ...

This temporary 'fixing' behaviour is similar to that shown by shape-memory polymers 8, however, in this case the material is not permanently fixed at room temperature. Instead, it slowly reverts ...

World's tiniest shape-shifting robot flies and drives, offering promise for rescue missions, medical tech, and VR systems.

One option is a “shape-memory” polymer that relaxes to allow movement and then stiffens back into shape. Lockheed’s main competitor in morphing research, NextGen Aeronautics in Torrance ...
