Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a remarkable class of stimuli‐responsive materials capable of undergoing substantial deformation and subsequently recovering their original shape when exposed to ...

Shape memory alloys are very versatile and therefore can be applied in multiple industries, most notably the automotive, aerospace, biomedical, and robotics sectors. This is because the material is ...

As air traffic is projected to increase dramatically over the next decade, reducing noise pollution becomes an even more necessary and demanding challenge. Decades of research have been dedicated to ...

You’ve likely heard of Nitinol wire before, but we suspect the common base knowledge doesn’t go much beyond repeating that it’s a shape-memory alloy. [Bill Hammack], the Engineer Guy, takes us on a ...

Additive manufacturing technology is appropriate for fabricating NiTi products, but the control of microstructure, phase transformation, and mechanical property of NiTi alloys is scarce and imperative ...

Scientists captured live action details of the phase transitions of shape memory alloys, giving them a better idea how to improve their properties for applications. Known to many as muscle wire or ...
