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 ...

Shape memory alloys are very versatile and therefore can be applied in multiple industries, most notably the automotive, aerospace, biomedical, and robotics sectors. This is because the material is ...

Shape-memory metals, which can revert from one shape to a different one simply by being warmed or otherwise triggered, have been useful in a variety of applications, as actuators that can control the ...

Shape memory alloys (SMA) are materials that “remember” their original shape and can go back to this original shape after deformation under a stimulus. They are also known as smart alloys or memory ...

Laser powder bed fusion, a 3D-printing technique, offers potential in the manufacturing industry, particularly when fabricating nickel-titanium shape memory alloys with complex geometries. Although ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shape Memory Medical Inc., developer of custom shape memory polymers for endovascular markets, announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted ...
