ARTICLE MADE OF A SHAPE-MEMORY COMPOSITE MATERIAL, METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND METHOD FOR RETRIEVING STORED SHAPES

摘要

The invention relates to an article (10) made of a shape-memory composite material (12), which comprises a shape-memory polymer (14) and magnetic material (16) embedded therein, wherein said shape-memory polymer (14) is capable according to thermal mechanical programming of executing at least one shape transition, which is induced by temperature, from a temporary shape into a permanent shape; and a method for the production thereof and methods for retrieving stored shapes. It is provided that the article (10) has at least two sections (18, 20), which are connected to one another directly or indirectly, and which differ by a differing surface-volume ratio (OA).
