Abstract

A novel phenomenon of stress memory in stimulus‐responsive polymers is described on page 893 (DOI: 10.1002/polb.23726) by Jinlian Hu, Bipin Kumar, and Harishkumar Narayana. This original concept is further enlightened by a switch‐spring‐frame model to elucidate the behavior of such polymers under specific programming conditions. The concept and proposed model represent a landmark in polymer physics and is useful for other types of smart materials. Stress memory provides a principle to develop applications needing stimuli‐responsive forces in emerging smart products of many multi‐disciplinary fields. In particular, stress memory is applied for medical compression stockings with programmability and adaptability for managing chronic venous disorders.
