ABSTRACT:
Composite materials which generate delayed dimensional change and force due to prestressed fibers constrained and controlled within and by a responsive polymer matrix which yields in a predetermined manner, and methods for preparing the same. In various embodiments the response may be externally-activated on-demand or self-activated time-dependent.
