Abstract
Disclosed magnetic shape-memory compositions that comprise a polymer matrix and a population of hard-magnetic particles dispersed within the polymer matrix. In some embodiments, the magnetic shape-memory compositions can further comprise a population of auxiliary magnetic particles (e.g., ferrite particles) dispersed within the polymer matrix. The compositions can exhibit 1) reversible, fast, and controllable transforming deformation, 2) shape-locking, and 3) reprogramming capabilities.
