«It will not be too pessimistic to state that we shall not learn to know the wood ultrastructuretruths before 2050 or perhaps 3000. Anyhow it is most fascinating science to deal with .»

• Nature that created wood as ultramicroscopic miracle, prompted to mankind to produce diverse modern artificial materials ranging from reinforced concrete to nanocomposites. Further studies of wood nanostructure discover new possibilities of biomimetic approach to creation of effective materials.

• Material scientists predict a prominent role of artificial smart materials in future. This term designates material which usefully reacts to the changes in environmental parameters.

• One of the main features of smart materials is «shape-memory effect». It means that these materials after forced change of the form are able to restore their initial form when original physical condition is recovered.

• Metallic shape memory alloys were synthesized the first. Later were created ceramics and polymers with the same property.

• We find a very broad spectrum of smart materials applications from deployable space structures to self-repairing auto bodies, switches, sensors, kitchen utensils, tools up to minimally invasive surgery and implants in biomedicine.

• problems of behaviour of the shape memory polymers (Lendlein and Kelch 2002)

Examples of Topical Problems for Artificial Smart Materials

• internal stress induced by constrained expansion of memory polymer nanocomposites (Gall et al. 2004)

• model development for shape memory polymers(Siskind et al. 2008)

• Hygroscopicity of wood gives possibility to use it as a sensor of surrounding air humidity.

• Wood constructions of buildings regulate, in some degree, the air humidity in living premises, by drying or humidifying of the air at changing weather.

• Swelling of wood tightens joints in articles and structures.

• Pit props of pine and spruce wood emit crackling which warns of coming mine destruction.

• Acoustic emission is used for monitoring of lumber stress state at drying.

• Sonorous ability of wood reveals itself in musical instruments.

• Piezoelectric properties of wood permit to create nondestructive methods of strength testing.

• Et cetera.

The notion «memory of wood» was introduced by us at the beginning of the 1980s. Previously some researchers (Т. Takemura (1973) et al.) had used the analogous term for indication of purely temporal phenomena. In our case this is a metaphor which reflects the ability of wood to react to the restoration of initial physical state determined by its moisturecontent and temperature.

«Wood memory effect» is based on quazi-residual «frozen»strains

They were experimentally discovered by us at constrained shrinkage of wood in the early 1960s.
