Mechanical Models, Structures, and Applications of Shape-Memory Polymers and Their Composites
Open accessAbstract
Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) and their composite materials are stimuli-responsive materials that have the unique characteristics of lightweight, large deformation, variable stiffness, and biocompatibility. This paper reviews the research status of the mechanical models for SMPs, shape-memory nanocomposites and shape-memory polymer composites (SMPCs); it also introduces some spatially deployable structures, such as hinges, beams, and antennae based on SMPCs. In addition, the deformation types of 4D printing structures and the potential applications of this technology in robots and medical devices are also summarized.

Little attention has been dedicated to the constitutive modeling of the two-way SME, while several contributions are available to model one-way SMPs.
“While several contributions are available to model the behavior of one-way SMPs (see [260] and references therein), little attention has been dedicated to the constitutive modeling of the two-way SME.”

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.
