Abstract

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) and self-healing polymers (SHPs) are two representative examples of biomimetic smart materials. SMPs have the ability to change from one or more temporary shapes to a predetermined shape in response to external stimulus. SHPs can repair cracks or fracture by themselves after being damaged. When introducing CDs-guest interactions that have been featured as dynamic and reversible into the design of novel SMPs and SHPs, intriguing and unique functionalities have been engendered and thereby broaden their potential applications. In this chapter, we summarize recent progress made in SMPs and SHPs based on CDs-guest interactions, provide insight into their design and mechanism, elucidate and evaluate their properties and performance, and point out possible future developments.
