Shape memory materials have two crystal structures and can change between the structures through heating and cooling, allowing the material to remember its original shape. These materials are thermoplastic and display pseudo-elastic behavior, making them suitable for applications such as morphing wings, reusable molds, deployable mirrors, and portable bridges where the ability to change shape and remember the original is useful.
