a. Shape shifting polymer
b. Shape increasing polymer
c. Shape decreasing polymer
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Shape shifting polymer
 
Chinese scientists have developed shape shifting polymer used to produce heart brackets or surgical equipment that can help to eliminate blood clot thrombosis. Polymer developed at Zhejiang University can differentiate between different preset shapes under specific conditions. Shape shifting polymer was formed by dunking material into water heartened to 60 degree C. Shape shifting materials have been developed for years, but this new polymer developed by scientists is able to snap between different shapes opening applications for shape changing materials.
