A number of toothbrushes use Shape Memory Rubber Polymers. The kind with those colorful gum massagers lol. Under hot water you can stretch and shape them, then in a second it will stay that way until you heat it up again. it then returns to it's original form.
When it is heated it returns to its original form. The shape that first existed was the result of alignment of the molecules when hot and cooling in that state. When the object is heated again the molecules return to their tangled orginal form
The question is...if you go back to the original temp does the material return to it's original shape? Otherwise this is really not impressive at all...It's like saying a plastic bottle changes its shape based on temperature. well it does but it has not chance of returning to its original shape.
hello, I work for an exhibition on textiles and new materials ... how it works your experience? I would like to understand ... you can contact me? Good day!
what is RIT ? / I work for an exhibition which will be realised in october 09 / I can't explain a lot but we want to create wears which move and change formes and/or colors in differents situations or brains.
It all depends on the type of polymer that the sample is made of. It is most likely a form of polyethylene (glass trans temp: -110 to -25 degree C) or polypropylene (glass trans temp: -25 to -20 degree C) polymer.
This test is run ranging from 20-70 degree C which is above the glass trans temp. It doesn't have any effect in this case if those are the materials used.
I Love The Video The polymer will adjusts its shape according to the different applied temperatures It Can Increase My Knowledge

I still prefer CSI's way of showing how shape memory polymer works.

Could it be used on a light weight fabric, and can it be tailored to fit any shape?

No, it returns to its original form when it's heated. The first shape in this video was the original form bended
