Shape Memory Systems with Biodegradable Polyesters

Shape Memory Systems with Biodegradable Polyesters [Pg.131]

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) and composites thereof are emerging smart materials in different applications, especially in biomedical, aerospace, and construction engineering helds. SMPs may adopt one (dual-shape), two (triple-shape). [Pg.131]

Shape memory (SM) properties are typically quantified by the shape fixity (ffj) and shape recovery ratios (/ ,). means the extent of fixing of the externally applied deformation in the temporary shape. Its value is 100% when the applied deformation, introduced above is fully kept below in the temporary [Pg.132]
