Materials with memory, often referred to as "shape memory materials," are a class of advanced materials that can undergo significant changes in shape or properties in response to external stimuli, such as temperature, stress, or electric/magnetic fields. The most well-known examples of shape memory materials include shape memory alloys (SMAs) and shape memory polymers (SMPs).
