The two-way shape-memory effect is the effect that the material remembers two different shapes: one at low temperatures, and one at the high temperature. A material that shows a shape-memory effect during both heating and cooling is said to have two-way shape memory.
Shape-memory polymers differ from shape memory alloys (SMAs) [25] by their glass transition or melting transition from a hard to a soft phase which is responsible for the shape-memory effect. In shape-memory alloys martensitic / austenitic transitions are responsible for the shape-memory effect.
The thermally induced unidirectional shape-shape-memory effect is an effect classified within the new so-called smart materials. Polymers with thermally induced shape-memory effect are new materials, whose applications are recently being studied in different fields of science (e.g., medicine), communications and entertainment.
Whether nitinol behaves with shape memory effect or superelasticity depends on whether it is above its transformation temperature during the action. Nitinol behaves with the shape memory effect when it is colder than its transformation temperature, and superelastically when it is warmer than it.
A magnetic shape-memory alloy (MSMA) is a type of smart material that can undergo significant and reversible changes in shape in response to a magnetic field. This behavior arises due to a combination of magnetic and shape-memory properties within the alloy, allowing it to produce mechanical motion or force under magnetic actuation.
Ongoing research is essential to clarify these risks, helping us stay ahead of the curve in understanding their effects and enabling us to develop strategies to prevent or mitigate possible harm ...
Shape-memory alloys and shape-memory polymers are materials in which large deformation can be induced and recovered through temperature changes or stress changes (pseudoelasticity). The shape memory effect results due to respectively martensitic phase change and induced elasticity at higher temperatures.
