PACKAGING AND DE-PACKAGING METHODS USING SHAPE MEMORY POLYMERS |
摘要 |
Packaging and de-packaging methods using shape memory polymers are disclosed herein. An embodiment of the packaging method involves placing a part adjacent to shape memory polymer in its permanent shape, heating the shape memory polymer to a temperature above its switching temperature, and applying a force to the heated shape memory polymer such that the polymer switches from its permanent shape into a temporary shape. The temporary shape of the shape memory polymer conforms to at least one of i) a shape of the part, or ii) a desired shape for packaging the part. The method further includes cooling the shape memory polymer to a temperature below its switching temperature to set the temporary shape.
