Shape memory polyurethane for structural applications

Polyurethane polymer demonstrates a wide range of mechanical properties due to unique and broad molecular structure of the prepolymer. One of the major areas that have been the focus of research community for the last two decades is developing polyurethane foam for shape memory applications. Shape memory polymers are a category of polymers which respond to stimulus such as temperature, moisture or impact, and are able to go through a deformed …
