Abstract
The development of applications of shape memory polymers (SMPs) is currently of great interest [1–4]. Because SMPs are light, high in shape recovery, easy to manipulate and economical compared with shape memory alloy, their development is being actively promoted. In many SMPs, the phase transition temperature is around room temperature. Characteristics such as shape recovery and shape fixity exist due to the difference in mechanical properties of materials above and below the phase transition temperature. SMPs possessing these characteristics are being used as temperature sensors and actuators.
