“…Like SMAs, the actuation response of these materials is relatively slow [255]. However, the field has seen recent growth and researchers have begun investigating their potential use in a wide variety of applications including self-tightening sutures [132], biodegradable stents [250], surface patterning (e.g. braille) [93], morphing wings [107,178], deployable structures [222] and self-healing materials [253], due to their highly tailorable structure.…”

“…For instance, the types of inclusion materials are not limited. Hence, medicine can even be used as the inclusion for drugrelease [26,27]. Retractable eluting shape memory stent, which can release drug gradually and eventually shrink its size for easy removal, could be a potential application area.…”

Abstract. Shape memory materials are featured by their ability to recover their original shapes when a particular stimulus, such as heat, light, magnetic field, even moisture/water, etc. is applied. However, it is not an easy task for non-professionals to synthesize a shape memory material which can meet all the requirements of a particular application. Even for professionals, like materials researchers, it could involve tedious trial and error procedures. In this paper, the concept of water-responsive shape memory hybrid is proposed and the advantages are demonstrated by two examples. The hybrid concept is versatile and can be easily accessed by those even without much polymer/chemistry background. Moreover, the performance of such hybrids can be well-predicted. This concept can be further extended into solvent-responsive shape memory hybrids, which can be routinely designed and realized in a Do-It-Yourself manner by almost anyone.

New generation delivery systems involve smart materials such as shape memory and self-folding polymers. Shape memory polymers revert back to their original shape above their glass transition temperatures where this temperature change can be induced conventionally, photolytically, with a lazer or magnetically depending on the composition of the material. This ability to assume original shape upon a trigger can be used in delivering drugs, DNA or cells. Self folding polymers are a new class of materials which may be composed of multilayers with different thermal expansion coefficients or with hinges that allow folding upon being triggered. These new materials allow various architectural designs of smart delivery vehicles predominantly for DNA and cells. The aim of this chapter is given shape and folding polymers and their usage for drug delivery systems.
