ExpertShape polymers recover their primary shape without any residual deformation, which enables their use in applications requiring high dimensional accuracy. They can be used in a wide temperature range (from -20°C to +140°C). Contrary to shape memory alloys, ExpertShape polymers induce low constraints and tolerate large dimensional deformations (up to 300%). |

They can be moulded into complex shapes. They can also impregnate fibers to form composites with reinforced mechanical properties. ExpertShape polymers are transparent materials which can be filled up to 80% in weight (with carbon black, carbonate, tire powder, etc.). Furthermore, they are biocompatible, without any toxicity risk and can be implanted in the human body. |
