If certain plastics (take for instance PTFE) is subjected to stresses below its yield point then it may be subjected to permanent deformation. This deformation will induce certain strains through out the material. If the plastic is heated up, these strains tend to relax which allows the plastic to return to its original shape. This is often refered to as "plastic memory".

What is the term plastic memory?

"Plastic memory" refers to a phenomenon in which a material temporarily retains a deformation or shape after being subjected to stress, but eventually returns to its original shape once the stress is removed. This is often seen in certain types of plastics or materials that exhibit viscoelastic behavior.

What is type of material is used in memory card?

Memory cards are primarily made of a combination of plastic and silicon. The outer casing is usually constructed from durable plastic to protect the internal components, while the memory chip itself, typically made from silicon, is responsible for storing data. Additionally, gold or other conductive materials may be used for the contacts that interface with devices.
