Stretchable polymer reverts back to original shape when triggered by body heat


Researchers have developed a polymer elastomer that reverts to its original shape when heated to around ...

Shape memory materials that can revert back into a desired form after being bent, twisted and stretched are finding their way into a number of applications, ranging from sports bras to more efficient refrigerators. One team of scientists is now examining potential biomedical applications, with a polymer that can revert to its original form when it comes into contact with heat from the human body.
