We report our experimental results of a hybrid which has both the cooling-responsive shape memory effect (SME) and water-responsive SME. The hybrid is designed based on the concept of shape memory hybrid (SMH), and is made of a plastic sponge (as elastic component) filled with Poloxamer 407 (P407) g...
