temperatureactivated
Temperatureactivated is a term used to describe systems in which a response is triggered when the temperature reaches a predefined threshold or range. The activation can be physical, chemical, or mechanical, and it may be reversible or irreversible depending on the material or device.
Activation mechanisms include phase transitions such as melting or glass transition, polymer rearrangements, diffusion-driven processes, or
Common examples span several fields. Shape memory alloys (for example, nitinol) actuate upon heating; thermochromic materials
Applications include consumer electronics, smart textiles and packaging, medical devices and drug delivery systems, soft robotics,
