A photo-driven metallo-supramolecular stress-free reversible shape memory polymer
Guancong Chen, Binjie Jin, Qian Zhao, Tao Xie
Abstract
Crosslinking of a crystalline network <italic>via</italic> metal ligand interactions gave rise to programmable actuation via a reversible shape memory effect. Simultaneously, the metallo-bonds offer remote light powering capability using their photo-thermal ability.
