- Additional information
- Funded from an EPSRC CASE award (Voucher Number 08002513) in collabaration with Nottingham based Multipackaging Solutions, this work described how incorporating organoclays into acrylate based polymers accelerated the rate of return to the permanent shape of shese shape mamroy systems. The new formulations were also able to be applied to non-shape memory materials (PET) as a coating and impart shape memory upon them.
