“Invertible shape-memory effect in linear polyethylene and poly(ε-caprolactone)”
Abstract:
The experimental and theoretical investigation of invertible shape-memory (SM) effect in crystallizable covalent networks is in focus due to fundamental interest of underlying molecular mechanisms and various applications of SM polymers as sensors and actuators. This work studies the invertible SM behavior of crosslinked high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)…
