Free-standing copolymer network samples with two types of crystallizable domains are capable of a fully reversible bidirectional shape-memory effect. One set of crystallizable domains determines the shape-shifting geometry while the other provides the thermally controlled actuation capability.
Keywords: copolymer networks; crystallization; reversible shape-memory effects; thermosensitive.
