Stretchy transparent materials returning to original shape when heated
Background While crystalline solids are only able to display elasticity at a strain limit of one percent, polymers can often withstand strains of up to several hundred percent and restore themselves to their original shape as a result of entropic elasticity. Shape memory polymers, on the other hand, return to their permanent shape after being stimulated...

Tunable Shape Memory Polymers
A material that can be manipulated and deformed only to return to its original shape as necessary. Applications:This invention relates to a class of network polymers, containing reversibly associating side-groups that can be structurally tailored as “shape memory” materials for a variety of applications in biotechnology and medicine as well...
