Thermal-Mechanical Properties of Polyurethane-Clay Shape Memory Polymer Nanocomposites [PDF]
Shape memory nanocomposites of polyurethane (PU)-clay were fabricated by melt mixing of PU and nano-clay. Based on nano-indentation and microhardness tests, the strength of the nanocomposites increased dramatically as a function of clay content, which is

Crack mitigation in concrete : superabsorbent polymers as key to success? [PDF]
Cracking is a major concern in building applications. Cracks may arise from shrinkage, freeze/thawing and/or structural stresses, amongst others. Several solutions can be found but superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) seem to be interesting to counteract these

Smart Polymers for Biomedical Applications [PDF]
Smart materials have the ability to respond to changes in their environment by variations in their molecular structure or in their physicochemical properties. Shape-memory and shape-changing polymers are examples for this class of materials, whose capability to perform stimuli-induced active movements has inspired engineers to develop heat-shrinkable ...
