PolymerExpert
has developed polymeric materials able to change their form upon a
change in temperature. The transition temperature can be adjusted
between -20°C and +140°C
The
principle is based on the deformation of the material at high
temperature, followed by fixing the shape in its glassy state at low
temperature. The material then recovers its primary shape upon demand
by increasing the temperature; once heated above the glass transition
temperature, the constraints stored during the deformation are released
and the initial form is recovered. PolymerExpert has developed
technologies which permit the control of the glass transition
temperature to adapt materials to a wide range of applications. |
