Thermomechanical Characterization of a Shape Memory Polymer Based Syntactic Foam
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a type of smart material capable of remembering multiple shapes and transitioning between them in response to an external stimulus. They offer the potential to self-seal macro-length scale damage in a nearly autonomous fashion. Syntactic foams are lightweight struct...
