Shape memory polymers (SMP) are smart materials was characterized by the recoverability of shape memory effect, but its mechanical property such as the strength is low.
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are smart materials that react to an applied stimulus in order to recover large strains.
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are smart materials that have the same recoverability and shape memory as NiTi alloys.
The utilization of epoxy shape memory polymers (SMPs) as engineering materials for deployable structures has attracted considerable attention due to their excellent thermo-mechanical endurance and satisfactory processability.
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are polymeric materials capable of recovering from a 'fixed' temporary shape to a 'memorized' permanent shape upon exposure to an external stimulus.
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are smart materials that can be designed to retain a metastable state and upon activation, recover a preprogrammed shape.
Thermoplastic shape memory polymers (SMPs) as smart materials have a great challenge in adjusting trigger temperature (Tt) for practical device application with high fixity and recovery ratio (>99%).
Composites based on a SMP matrix are active materials capable of recovering relatively large mechanical strains due to the application of heat.
