Review of progress in shape-memory polymers
TL;DR: It is discussed how the described shape-memory polymers show great potential for diverse applications, including in the medical arena, sensors, and actuators, and as dictated by macromolecular details.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape Memory Polymer Research
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of shape memory polymers is presented, emphasizing exciting progress in the areas of composites, novel recovery triggering, and new application developments, as well as new composites for shape fixing and recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-way reversible shape memory in a semicrystalline network
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of cross-link density on the thermal transitions, mechanical properties, and the related 2W-SM effect was studied by varying the concentration of crosslinking agent dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), gel fraction measurements, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and customized 2WSM analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical Relaxation and Microstructure of Poly(norbornyl-POSS) Copolymers
TL;DR: The mechanical relaxation behavior and microstructure of a series of novel norbornyl−POSS organic−inorganic copolymers have been investigated in this article, where it was observed that POSS copolymerization enhances the α-relaxation temperature, Tα, in proportion to the weight fraction of the POSS−norbornyl comonomer.
Journal ArticleDOI
