Thermo-Mechanical Behavior of Epoxy Shape Memory Polymer

Abstract:

The viscoelastic behaviors of shape memory polymers have a significant influence on the function realization of this kind of smart materials. In this study, stress-strain hysteresis under uniaxial tension of epoxy shape memory polymers with varied curing agent contents and types were tested at different temperatures. The effects of the testing temperature, curing-agent type and content on the viscoelastic behaviors of the materials were discussed.
