Shape Memory Epoxy Copolymer

摘要

The shape memory polymers disclosed are a reaction product of at least one reagent containing two active amino-hydrogen or two active phenolic-hydrogen with at least one multifunctional cross linking reagent which contains at least three or more active amino- or phenolic-hydrogen or is a reagent containing at least three glycidyl ether moieties which is then further mixed with at least one diglycidyl ether reagent whereupon the resulting mixture is cured and has a glass transition temperature higher than 0C. This reaction creates crosslinking between the monomers and polymers such that during polymerization they form a crosslinked thermoset network.
