Abstract
En 中文
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a class of intelligent materials that can autonomously return to their predetermined shape in response to external stimuli, such as temperature, light, electric fields, and magnetic fields, etc. By now, SMPs have attracted significant attention due to advancements in science and technology, emerging as a novel and promising smart material. Owing to their structural flexibility and versatility, SMPs exhibit tremendous potential across a variety of fields, including biomedical engineering, textiles, and aerospace, etc. This review will explore the diverse applications of SMPs in various fields, beginning with an overview of their classification, characteristics, and development history, before delving into their application prospects. The article will conclude by examining the current challenges faced by SMPs and offering insights into their futuredevelopment trends.
