TLDR
Shape memory materials fulfill an important role in both actuation and mechanical coupling between actuators and associated dynamic systems as discussed by the authors, but the basic physical principles are very different and this paper attempts to outline the current state-of-theart to those already involved with the technology and perhaps open a fresh chapter in smart materials to those who are new to it.About:

Shape-memory polymers and their composites: Stimulus methods and applications
TL;DR: Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) undergo significant macroscopic deformation upon the application of an external stimulus (e.g., heat, electricity, light, magnetism, moisture and even a change in pH value).

Remotely actuated polymer nanocomposites--stress-recovery of carbon-nanotube-filled thermoplastic elastomers.
TL;DR: This work demonstrates that the uniform dispersion of 1–5 vol.% of carbon nanotubes in a thermoplastic elastomer yields nanocomposites that can store and subsequently release, through remote means, up to 50% more recovery stress than the pristine resin.

The thermal conductivity of foams. I. Models for heat conduction
TL;DR: In this paper, the transfer of heat through a cellular material is considered, taking into account conduction in the solid and gas phases, but excluding radiation and convection, and various published methods of reaching such a conclusion are critically reviewed and compared.
