Shape-memory polymers are an emerging class of active polymers that have dual-shape capability. They can change their shape in a predefined way from shape A to shape B when exposed to an appropriate stimulus. While shape B is given by the initial processing step, shape A is determined by applying a
## Abstract Shapeβmemory polymers (SMPs) are selfβadjusting, smart materials in which shape changes can be accurately controlled at specific, tailored temperatures. In this study, the glass transition temperature (__T__~g~) is adjusted between 28 and 55βΒ°C through synthesis of copolymers of methyl
