(2012-08-15)The aim of this work is to develop and validate a continuum model for the simulation of the thermomechanical response of a shape memory polymer (SMP). Rather than integral type viscoelastic model, the approach here is based ...
-
(2011-02-22)Among many useful properties of elastomers, one is their ability to absorb energy by deforming to large strains without fracturing. This property combined with their good adhesion to substrates makes them suited as adhesive ...
-
(2011-08-08)Polymer coated sheet metal components find diverse applications in many industries. The manufacturing of the components generally involves forming of sheet metal into the desired shape and coating of the formed part with ...
-
(2018-10-09)Given the unique block copolymer structure of polyurethane (PU) elastomers, each segment of them can be modified independently to obtain a wide range of properties that meet the needs of various engineering applications. ...
-
Shape memory polymer (SMP) foams have been proposed for a variety of medical applications, including brain aneurysm embolization and occlusion of peripheral vascular malformations. While these devices provide significant ...
