Shape memory insulators comprising a first layer of core material, such as polymeric insulative material, and a second, shape memory layer of elastomeric material, for attachment to objects. The shape memory layer may comprise silicone rubber, silicone gum, silicon crepe, and/or silicone gel, for example. The shape memory insulator may be part of a handle for an object, such as a pot or pan, for example, or other objects and devices requiring continuous and/or repetitive manual operation. The shape memory polymeric material may conform to the shape of the user's hand when the handle is gripped by a user's hand. When the grip is released, the shape memory material returns to its original shape. The shape memory insulators provide insulation as well as improving comfort and/or control over the engagement and use of objects, while decreasing arm and hand wear and/or strain of those using the objects.

1. The handle wherein the second layer of elastomeric material comprises: a first layer of core material;a second layer of elastomeric material bonded to at least a portion of the first layer, the elastomeric material having shape memory such that, when a force is applied to the second layer by a user's hand, the polymeric material conforms to the user's hand, and when the force is removed, the polymeric material returns to its shape prior to the force being applied; andan elongated member secured to the first layer, wherein the elongated member is configured to be attached to an object;a first, inner layer of elastomeric material adjacent to the first layer of core material; andthe second layer of elastomeric material is an outer layer adjacent to the first, inner layer;the outer layer being bonded to the first layer of core material and having a hardness greater than a hardness of the inner layer of elastomeric material between the first layer of core material and the second, outer layer of elastomeric material; andwherein the first, inner layer and/or the second, outer layer have shape memory. 2. The handle of claim 1, wherein: the first, inner layer of elastomeric material is overbonded to the first layer; and the outer layer is overbonded to the inner layer. 3. The handle of claim 1, wherein the core material comprises polymeric insulative material.
