Abstract EN
Shape-Memory Polymers (SMPs) have the ability to be deformed and memorize this deformation until an external activation stimulus (e.g., heat) is applied.
Therefore, they have attracted great interest in many areas, especially for applications where reconfigurable structures are required (e.g., Shape-Memory (SM) stents or micro air vehicles).
Nevertheless, prior to technical application, the effective thermomechanical behavior of SMPs must be thoroughly understood.
In the current contribution, an assessment of thermorheological properties of the commercially available polyurethane system ESTANE is presented.
Thermorheological properties were investigated using Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) and complementary uniaxial stress relaxation experiments.
Upon material parameter optimization, a finite viscoelastic and incompressible material model was used to model experimentally observed viscoelastic properties.
