title: Chromogenic Photonic Crystals Enabled by Novel Vapor-Responsive Shape-Memory Polymers.
abstract: A new type of shape-memory polymer (SMP) is developed by integrating scientific principles drawn from two disparate fields: the fast-growing photonic crystal and SMP technologies. This new SMP enables room-temperature operation for the entire shape-memory cycle and instantaneous shape recovery triggered by exposure to a variety of organic vapors.
