Here we report on a novel type of smart material that is capable of specifically responding to the changing rate of an environmental signal. This, is shown on the example of lightly cross-linked syndiotactic polypropylene that reacts to a temperature increase by adapting its shape change according to the applied heating rate. In general, a material with such properties can be used to predict a system failure when used in a defined environment and is therefore called predictive material.
