High Strain Rate Programming Of Shape Memory Polymers

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) have been studied for using in self-healing structures through a bio-mimetic self-healing scheme recently. This scheme requires programming of the SMPs before service. One potential application of SMP based self-healing composites is in impact tolerant lightweight struct...
