Optimization of mechanical properties and manufacturing techniques to enable shape-memory polymer processing

This research investigates the synthesis and manufacture of shape-memory polymer (SMP) systems for use in biomedical and commodity applications. The research centers on improving the mechanical properties of thermoset acrylate copolymers with memory properties at reasonable cost through various des...
