Shape-Memory Polymeric Artificial Muscles: Mechanisms, Applications and Challenges

Shape-Memory Polymeric Artificial Muscles: Mechanisms, Applications and Challenges

Shape-memory materials are smart materials that can remember an original shape and return to their unique state from a deformed secondary shape in the presence of an appropriate stimulus. This property allows these materials to be used as shape-memory artificial muscles, which form a subclass of art...
