Article Synopsis
- Smart materials change properties like size and color in response to external triggers, but the next generation will also react to the dynamics of these triggers.
- The study explores a new heating rate-sensitive material, cross-linked and fully amorphous x-PET, which can shrink to different lengths based on how fast it is heated.
- This sensitivity occurs because x-PET begins to retract at higher temperatures and simultaneously stops due to crystallization, leading to its unique response to heating rates.
