Best Answer

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 are memory cards and how can I use them.?

Memory cards are typically small pieces of nondescript plastic, sometimes with a label for how much information it can hold. They go inside cell phones and other electronics, to hold information that the device cannot hold. Not all devices have the same type of memory card, but you should be able to tell. You can put all multimedia information on memory cards.
