Description
Summary:Shape Memory Material, (SMM) are a type of smart material which has the ability to return from a deformed state to their original shape by inducing stimuli to it. This report documents a general introduction to active disassembly of Shape Memory Polymer. (SMP) SMPs falls under the category of SMMs, where it can revert to its original shape when stimuli have been applied thereby having excellent recyclable properties. The material chosen for this project is polyurethane (PU). The project aims to determine the fabrication conditions to create samples of different shapes using PU, properties of PU, active disassembly conditions of PU and recyclability of PU.
