Shape memory hydrogels (SMHs) are functional polymer materials with the advantages of shape memory effect
high water content
and good biocompatibility. Their porous structures and high strength provide excellent tissuelike microenvironments for cell adhesion
growth and migration. Particularly
the shape memory abilities under external stimuli endow them attractive applications in artificial intelligence and medicines. The progress in synthetic methods
principle of shape memory as well as their applications including 3D printing
sensors
soft robots
tissue engineering
and information transmission are reviewed in this paper. Based on structures and properties
challenges and research trends faced by SMHs are discussed.
