Abstract

After being severely and quasi-plastically distorted, shape memory materials (SMMs) are able to recover their original shape at the presence of the right stimulus. In recent years we have seen significant progress from shape memory alloys (SMAs) to shape memory polymers (SMPs). In this paper, we summarize the most recent advances in SMMs. The focus is on the new features found in traditional SMMs, namely SMAs and SMPs, and a newly emerging type of SMM, namely shape memory hybrid (SMH), which enables enthusiasts to design SMMs with tailored properties/features for a particular application without the aid of experts (“do-it-yourself” manner).

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • SMA springs embedded into SMPs can heal macroscopic damages by closing the gap and melting/bonding the SMP.

    “Huang et al. [535] embedded SMA springs into SMPs as shown in Fig. 20(a) for the healing of SMP with macroscopic damages.”

    From A review of stimuli-responsive shape memory polymer composites (2013) · cites this paper as [535]

    The Shape memory composites section (page unavailable) describes an SMA spring embedded in a silicone-based shape-memory hybrid (SMH). Joule heating closed a large fracture gap, and the heated SMH healed into one piece. The paper does not describe this material as an SMP in that demonstration or say that melting and bonding caused the healing. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
