New shape-changing ‘smart’ material can morph and heals itself

The smart material can morph itself in to its former shape when exposed to UV light
A team of researchers has come up with a new multi-functional ‘smart’ material that can morph its shape when exposed to heat and light and can also disassemble itself.
The Washington State University researchers, who have filed a provisional patent on the work, were able to combine several smart abilities, including shape memory behavior, light-activated movement and self-healing behavior, into one m
