Repeatedly forming temporary shapes limits the employment of shape‐memory polymers. T. J. White and co‐workers use glassy, liquid crystal polymer networks to spontaneously form 3D shapes that are independent of an agent. On page 2839 they show how these shapes can be autonomously fixed with rapid temperature cycling. In the image, a spiral ribbon shape has been imaged after dipping into a chemilumines‐cent solvent for increased contrast.

液晶：玻璃态，液晶聚合物网络中的自主式免提形状记忆（Adv。Mater。21/2012）

反复形成临时形状会限制使用形状记忆聚合物。TJ White及其同事使用玻璃状液晶聚合物网络自发形成独立于媒介的3D形状。在第2839页，它们显示了如何通过快速温度循环自动固定这些形状。在图像中，将螺旋状的丝带形状浸入化学发光剂中以增强对比度后，会成像。
