In this paper, a new releasing device with the advantages of non-pyrotechnic, shockless, re-
settable, and simple structured are presented. A sandglass-like mechanism is designed and …

Formulations and numerical simulations of shape memory process are essential issues in
mechanical characterizations of shape memory polymers (SMPs). In this study, tensile stress …

A shape memory polymer composite (SMPC) unit has been manufactured with embedded
heater. The structure of the SMPC unit has been designed to allow reaching high recovery …

A series of polyurethanes (PU-GT) were prepared using polyglycolide-block-
polytetrahydrofuran-block-polyglycolide (PGA-PTHF-PGA), polytetrahydrofuran …

Epoxy-based shape-memory polymer (ESMP), belonging to viscoelastic thermosets, exhibits
strong temperature-dependent relaxation property caused by the glass transition process …

Deployable space structures made from thin-ply high-strain composite (HSC) laminates can
be compactly stowed, but prolonged stowage under high curvature can alter their deployed …

Based on micro morphology, a thermo-mechanical coupling model of shape memory
graphene oxide/epoxy resin (SMGO/EP) was proposed. The heat transfer capability …

The thermo-sensitive shape memory behavior of electron beam crosslinked high-density
polyethylene (EB-XL-HDPE) was analyzed in terms of effects of processing variables (dose …
