SHAPE MEMORY BEHAVIOR OF EPOXY/SLIDING-RING POLYMER COMPOSITES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17550653 titled 'SHAPE MEMORY BEHAVIOR OF EPOXY/SLIDING-RING POLYMER COMPOSITES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to shape memory compositions that can deform and reform in response to external stimuli. These compositions contain a sliding-ring polymer additive and a thermally-curable epoxy resin. Additionally, the application also covers 3D-printed shape memory compositions with the same additives.

  • Shape memory compositions contain a sliding-ring polymer additive and a thermally-curable epoxy resin.
  • These compositions can deform and reform in response to external stimuli.
  • The patent application also covers 3D-printed shape memory compositions with the same additives.

Potential Applications

  • Biomedical devices that can adapt to the shape of the body.
  • Smart materials for aerospace applications that can change shape in response to temperature changes.
  • Self-repairing materials that can reform after damage.

Problems Solved

  • Traditional shape memory materials may not have the desired flexibility or responsiveness.
  • 3D-printed materials may lack the ability to deform and reform.
  • Existing shape memory compositions may not be suitable for certain applications.

Benefits

  • Improved flexibility and responsiveness in shape memory materials.
  • Ability to 3D print shape memory compositions.
  • Enhanced adaptability and self-repairing capabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

This document relates to shape memory compositions containing a sliding-ring polymer (polyrotaxane) additive and a thermally-curable epoxy resin. The shape memory compositions are able to deform and reform in response to external stimuli. This document also relates to 3D-printed shape memory compositions containing a sliding-ring polymer (polyrotaxane) additive and a thermally-curable epoxy resin.
