Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are an emerging class of active polymers that have dual-shape capability and are, therefore, candidate materials for reconfigurable structures. However, the durability of SMPs has not been fully investigated to ensure they function properly in relevant environments. In this study, epoxy-based SMPs were conditioned separately in simulated service environments designed to...
This paper investigates the thermomechanical behavior of a thermosetting shape memory polymer (SMP) by using a high temperature nanoindentation technique. The nanoindenter is equipped with a microheater and a sophisticated temperature control and monitoring system. This allows the SMP to be activated at elevated temperatures enabling proper implementation of the thermomechanical cycle typically used...
