Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hello Sci Buddies !

I am glad to be a part of this community

What is the easiest and cheapest way to create a very thin surface with a memory characteristic that response to pressure or heat ? and can we make it semi-permanent, like the effect stays after removing the "Stimulant" for whatever time we want before we remove it , (I already thought about "Shape-memory alloys" materials but they are too expensive)

Any help would be amazing, Thank You !

Hi John and Welcome to Science Buddies,
First, this sounds like a physical science question/project, so I've moved it to that section.

Second, this forum is for students in grades K-12 who are working on a science project. In order for the experts here to know how to help you, could you please tell us more about your project, what hypothesis you are testing, and how you will design your experiment.

The Science Buddies project guide might help you to get started:
