Shape memory polymer is a polymeric brilliant material that, when triggered by an external stimulus such as temperature, power, attractive field, light, synthetic chemicals, and so on, may return from a distorted transitory form to its unique changeless state. The polymer is first shaped into a permanent shape using conventional methods, then warped into the desired temporary shape using a technique known as programming.

Textiles combined with these SMPs can aid in the creation of various 3D shapes in clothing. Under the impact of heat, window curtains or films containing temperature-induced SMPs can also act, changing the microstructure and macrostructure characteristics of smart clothing. As a result of the foregoing, temperature-induced SMPs are expected to account for the majority of market share during the period.
