Fig. 4: Reversible shape memory performance.

a X-ray diffraction spectrums of programmed 2 W SMP in heating and cooling modes, respectively. b Bending deformation performance of RC tape-2W SMP laminate as a function of temperature of heating plate. The molecular weight of PCL monomer is 10,000. The inset of optical images shows that RC tape-2W SMP is in coiled state at low temperature and unfolded state at high temperature. c Reversible bending deformation of RC tape-2W SMP film array in the dual-mode device as a function of the number of cycles between heating and cooling modes.
