Design and characterization of multiple-stimuli responsive shape memory hybrids by Tan, Jun Liang.

“…This shape-memory hybrid will later be used in the experiments for the testing of shape recoverability when subjected to the two stimuli. Concise methodologies were carried out and the results show that this hybrid responds insignificantly to the impact stimuli but surprisingly, able to achieve considerably high recovery of its shape in response to the water stimuli. …”
