Abstract | Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) are smart materials that can change shape upon an external stimulus. This phenomenon is called the shape memory effect (SME), which is caused by entropy change due to rapid molecular motion in the polymer segments. Due to the inherently weak thermomechanical properties, use of SMPs is limited in many engineering applications. Therefore, SMPs are often reinforced with fibres and nanoparticles (NPs). NPs offered greater flexibility due to their superior physical, chemical, electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. However, the |
