Shape recovery and irrecoverable strain control in polyurethane shape-memory polymer
Science and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2008 In shape-memory polymers, large strain can be fixed at a low temperature and thereafter recovered at a high temperature. If the shape-memory polymer is held at a high temperature for a long time, the irrecoverable strain can attain a new intermediate ...

Multifunctional Shape‐Memory Polymers [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2010 AbstractThe thermally‐induced shape‐memory effect (SME) is the capability of a material to change its shape in a predefined way in response to heat. In shape‐memory polymers (SMP) this shape change is the entropy‐driven recovery of a mechanical deformation, which was obtained before by application of external stress and was temporarily fixed by ...
