Adv Mater. 2016 Jan 6;28(1):156-60. doi: 10.1002/adma.201503789. Epub 2015 Nov 9.

Abstract

Hot-pressing shape memory vitrimers lead to multishape memory, multifunctionality, easy reconfiguration, and the possibility of mass production of arbitrary smart structures.

Keywords: dynamic covalent bonds; multifuntionality; multishape memory effect; shape memory polymers; vitrimers.
