When a Shaped Memory Polymer (SMP) is subjected to external factors like heat, light, moisture etc, it will activate the Shape Memory Effect (SME). When it is heated and temperature is raised to its Glass Transition Temperature (Tg), the material will soften and thus able to be shaped to a desired s...
