Comparison of shape memory metals and polymers
Abstract
Both, metals and polymers can show the one‐way shape memory effect or rubber‐like elasticity. The origin of these effects in the two types of materials is discussed. It is shown that there is an analogy between the high temperature phases β: crystalline austenite in metals and random coils in polymers. There are differences in the low temperature phases α: a domain structure is typical for metallic martensite, and stretched chains for polymers. Prerequisite for memory and superelastic effects is a complete structural reversibility during a β – α transformation cycle.

At the molecular level, staying above the shape fixing temperature would lead to relaxation of an applied strain if the polymer is unloaded at that temperature, due to structural recoil of switching segments as soon as stress is released according to normal rubber elasticity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
