Chromogenic Photonic Crystals Enabled by Novel Vapor‐Responsive Shape‐Memory Polymers. (15th May 2015) - Fang, Yin
Abstract A new type of shape‐memory polymer (SMP) is developed by integrating scientific principles drawn from two disparate fields: the fast‐growing photonic crystal and SMP technologies. This new SMP enables room‐temperature operation for the entire shape‐memory cycle and instantaneous shape recovery triggered by exposure to a variety of organic vapors.
