shape memory

shape memory
I hear of this term frequently these days.
I see 'shape memory alloy', which seems to be an established term.
I wonder if it is applied to other things as well like:
1. shape memory shirt (the kind of shirt that needs no ironing)
2. shape memory wave (permanent wave - hair)
If so, to what else can it be applied?

Thank you.

I've heard of shape memory plastics and polymers and alloys. It isn't really used in normal day to day life though, so no, we don't have shape memory shirts or hair!
