(Nanowerk News) Researchers have identified a mechanism that triggers shape-memory phenomena in organic crystals used in plastic electronics. Shape-shifting structural materials are made with metal ...

This shape-memory plastic from mnemoScience reverts to its parent shape in 45 seconds at a temperature of 65°C. What if it were possible to create plastic objects in one shape, deform them to fit ...

MedShape (Atlanta, GA) has been granted a U.S. patent for a shape memory polymer-based technology used in orthopedic applications. Shape memory polymers can "remember" more than one shape and ...
