Supramolecular shape memory hydrogels (SSMHs)
refer to shape memory polymers, in which temporary shapes are stabilized by
reversible crosslinks such as supramolecular interactions and dynamic covalent
bonds. Following a brief introduction of the conventional shape memory polymers
(SMPs), this tutorial review is focused to summarize a recent advancement on various
reversible crosslinks employed to construct SSMHs (supramolecular interactions
and dynamic covalent bonds) and different shape memory behaviors (dual and
triple shape memory effect). In addition, current challenges and future
perspectives in this field are also discussed to suggest a new developing
direction.
