--- res: bibo_abstract: - Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are polymers which ''remember'' their original shape and can return to it after deformation, if an external stimulus—often an increased temperature – is applied. Some SMPs can be 3D printed, typically by fused deposition modeling (FDM). The most well-known SMP is poly(lactic acid), which belongs to the most often used materials in FDM 3D printing. There are; however, many more SMPs which can be 3D printed to combine the possibilities to prepare new, sophisticated shapes with the opportunity to restore these shapes after undesirable or intentional deformation. This review gives an overview of several 3D printable SMPs, their mechanical characteristics and their possible applications.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Guido foaf_name: Ehrmann, Guido foaf_surname: Ehrmann - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Andrea foaf_name: Ehrmann, Andrea foaf_surname: Ehrmann foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=223776 orcid: 0000-0003-0695-3905 orcid_put_code_url: https://api.orcid.org/v2.0/0000-0003-0695-3905/work/105571988 bibo_doi: 10.1002/app.50847 bibo_issue: '34' bibo_volume: 138 dct_date: 2021^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/0021-8995 - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1097-4628 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Wiley@ dct_title: 3D printing of shape memory polymers @ ...
