Shape-Memory Polymers: Industrial Applications of Smart Materials
Article description
This book provides comprehensive coverage of shape-memory polymers (SMPs), a growing area within smart materials research. After offering an introduction to the topic and the nature of shape-memory effects and superelasticity, the author offers an in-depth look at the properties, mechanics, and characterization of SMPs and thermoplastic elastomers. Information on the wide range of applications for these materials follows, including: bioplastics and biomedical devices; textiles and fabrics; optical, electronic, and mechanical parts for control systems; cosmetics and beauty products; automotive (or other novel) materials.
