On demand shape memory polymer via light regulated topological defects in a dynamic covalent network

On demand shape memory polymer via light regulated topological defects in a dynamic covalent network

Stimuli-responsive soft materials are of interest for a range of applications. Here, the authors report on the use of light triggered catalysts to control topological defect driven isomerization of polymer networks and demonstrate application in shape memory polymers.
