Electrically conductive semi-interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) from shape memory polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyaniline (PANI) is realized. The mechanical properties and shape memory performance of semi-IPN are slightly different from the original PVC. The distribution of PANI within PVC is f...
