Hi,

I'm looking for a shape memory material with this features:
- return to his original shape by electric hit or by folding manual
- flexibility
- strong enough to swipe another flex material.

Thank you.

What does "swipe another flex material" mean?
 
For example, to combine this material with communication cable.
 
what does "combine" mean in this context?

Look, I'm not trying to give you a hard time and I don't actually have any answer to your question but I'm trying to help you see that your question is very confusing. You need to be more specific about what you are trying to do. What is your goal?
 
Thank you for trying to help :)

My goal is to be able automaticly folding any conection cable (usb, HDMI...) by simple action, to be able to do that I need a specific material, like shape memory alloy but more flexible.
