Thermally activated shape memory polymers (SMPs) recover from a secondary shape induced by mechanical deformation to a primary equilibrium shape when they are heated to their actuation temperature. In certain applications, for example in the biomedical fie ...
The thermomechanical response of a series of thermally activated shape memory polyurethanes (SMPUs), determined by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), has been adjusted by systematic modification of the molecular architecture. It is argued that the free rec ...
This work compares the time dependence of isothermal shape recovery in thermoset and thermoplastic shape memory polyurethanes (SMPUs) with comparable glass transition temperatures. In each case, tensile tests have been used to quantify the influence of var ...
The aim of this thesis has been to investigate the use of heat-activated shape memory polymers (SMPs) as novel smart actuators for the controlled delivery of fluids and their suitability for applications such as low-cost drug delivery. On heating to temper ...
On application of heat, shape memory polymers (SMPs) are able to revert to a primary shape from a secondary shape induced by mechanical deformation. It may be desirable to induce shape recovery at controlled rates under quasi-isothermal conditions, e. g. i ...
