Determination of shape fixity and shape recovery rate of carbon nanotube-filled shape memory polymer nanocomposites
Shape memory polymers (SMP) feature the ability of the polymers to recover their original/permanent shape from deformed/temporary shape with the presence of stimulus such as heat, light, or vapor. Shape Memory Polyurethane (SMPU) reinforced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were fabricated...
