Incorporation of Fiber Bragg Sensors for Shape Memory Polyurethanes Characterization

Shape memory polyurethanes (SMPUs) are thermally activated shape memory materials, which can be used as actuators or sensors in applications including aerospace, aeronautics, automobiles or the biomedical industry. The accurate characterization of the memory effect of these materials is therefore ma...
