This book aims to cover different types of smart polymer materials, that is, temperature-sensitive shape memory polymers and temperature/light/chemo-sensitive hydrogels. Practical applications for these materials require constitutive models that describe the three-dimensional strain
stress response. Therefore, in this book,
different thermo
chemo
mechanical constitutive models are presented for these smart polymers. To employ these constitutive models in applied real-world problems, for example, in cardiovascular stents, smart microvalves and actuators, their time-discrete version should be developed, for example, in nonlinear finite element framework. For each introduced constitutive model, its numerical counterpart is also reported. Using these constitutive models, some interesting applications are presented which are followed by some structural analysis developed for structures made of smart polymers.
The major features of the book that make it unique are listed as follows:

- Providing a review on constitutive models for shape memory polymers
- Giving a review on constitutive modeling of pH-sensitive hydrogels

- Examining some experimental aspects of shape memory polymers

- Development of some constitutive modeling of shape memory polymers

- Shape memory polymer nanocomposites and corrugated structures

- Numerical investigation of smart auxetic 3D meta-structures based on shape memory polymers via topology optimization

- Equilibrium and transient swelling of soft and tough pH-sensitive hydrogels

- Fluid
structure interaction analysis of different smart hydrogel microvalves
Finally, we should mention that this book has been reproduced based on the research of the authors, which were published in prestigious journals in recent years.
