Patent ID: 7074484

Claim:
An electromagnetic radiation (EMR) responsive material having shape deformation comprising at least one shape deformable matrix material; wherein the EMR responsive material is capable of being deformed in at least one spatial dimension when exposed to one or more external forces, is capable of maintaining a degree of deformation in at least one spatial dimension once the external force is removed, and is capable of exhibiting a recovery in at least one spatial dimension when subjected to an activation energy in the form of electromagnetic energy having a frequency range of from about 20 MHz to about 2500 MHz for less than about one second; wherein the shape deformable matrix material has a dielectric loss factor of greater than 0.20 at a given frequency within the EMR frequency range of from 10 MHz to about 30 GHz and wherein the shape deformable matrix material is gathered by electromagnetic radiation, is attached to a product, and exhibits the recovery while experiencing a temperature change of less than about 15Â° C.
