Polyurethane Shape Memory Polymers

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An important member of the smart materials family, the shape memory polymer has attracted serious attention as a result of its ability to recover its original shape after having a stimulus applied to them. From their history to the most recent developments, this book provides the full story of polyurethane-based shape memory polymers, including discussion of thermomechanical properties and behavior of the polymer and its composites. It also addresses the modification of the shape memory polymer and introduces novel actuation mechanisms, as well as presenting the wide range of state-of-the-art (and potential) applications.
