Abstract
This booklet will take you on a journey into the world of shape memory alloys, by showing the explorative route I have taken. Although the road was not yet paved and sometimes very bumpy, I managed to reach my final goal. I am proud to present ThermoTilt, a responsive insulation layer which uses shape memory alloy’s unique properties to achieve its shape shifting abilities.
