| 摘要 |
An article of manufacture having heat-alterable memory characteristics consisting of a shaped, vulcanized composition comprising a hydrogenated polybutadiene which in its unhydrogenated state contains from about 15 to about 55 percent trans 1,4-addition and from about 15 to about 40 percent cis 1,4-addition, the article being in a dimensionally heat-unstable condition capable of altering its physical form upon application of heat alone. The article is produced by hydrogenating the above-described polybutadiene, shaping and vulcanizing the hydrogenated polybutadiene and subjecting the shaped, vulcanized article to a force sufficient to alter its dimensions.
