This chapter focuses on recent developments in rheological and mechanical examinations of TLCP blends. Although most of the data presented are taken from actual works done at the Institute of Polymers and Processing of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, this is merely a matter of accessibility and in no way implies that this data is the best or only data of this nature available.

Researchers who study polymers are looking for novel ways to incorporate shape memory into these materials. Shape-memory polymers that respond to heat have been discovered, and in 2005, Andreas Eend-lein at the Institute of Polymer Research in Teltow, Germany, Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Robert Langer, and their colleagues found a shape-memory polymer that is responsive to light.
