Porous shape memory hybrids are fabricated with different matrix (silicone) hardness and inclusion (polycaprolactone, PCL) ratios. They characterized to obtain their mechanical response cyclic loads (with/without pre-straining/programming) performances after body-temperature programming investigated. These materials lightweight due porous structures. Wetted hydrogels used in the fabrication process for creating pores reusable hence this is eco-friendly. exhibit good effect of around 90%...
Body-temperature programmable elastic shape memory hybrids (SMHs) have great potential for the comfortable fitting of wearable devices. Traditionally, shore hardness is commonly used in characterization materials. In this paper, evolution body-temperature SMHs upon cyclic loading, and during cycle, systematically investigated. Upon similar to Mullins effect, significant softening appears, when applied strain over a certain value. On other hand, after programming, general, measured increases...
