Shape memory polymers are a special type of polymer, which can recover the permanent shape upon the application of external stimulus. The main advantage of shape memory polymer the ability of recovering a large amount of strain (usually >400%) in comparison to shape memory alloys (SMP) (up to 15%) and shape memory ceramics (2 - 3%) [3, 7, 15]. The material used in this research is Shape Memory Polymer due to its excellent shape recoverability. Before going into the details of the various topics of my work some of the basic features of SMP are discussed first.
