Thermo-Responsive Shape-Memory Effect and Surface Features in Polycarbonate (PC)

The influence of programming strain and temperature on the shape memory effect and surface morphology in programmed polycarbonate (PC) samples via uni-axial stretching is investigated. It is found that the samples programmed at around the glass transition start temperature not only have micro-cracks...
