This chapter highlights the material selection process for shape-memory polymers (SMPs). When selecting SMPs, additional properties need to be considered, so two case studies are given as examples. Current SMPs are grouped based on their polymer structure or physical structure (composite, foam, fiber) to accelerate the material selection process for SMPs. The thermomechanical properties and shape-memory properties have been tabulated for acrylics, polyurethanes, epoxies, and other SMPs. For each type of SMP, their chemical structure, synthesis, properties, and performance are discussed. The properties of commercially available SMPs are also presented and discussed.
