A Mechanical Analysis of Chemically Stimulated Linear Shape Memory Polymer Actuation

A Mechanical Analysis of Chemically Stimulated Linear Shape Memory Polymer Actuation

In the present work, we study the role of programming strain (50% and 100%), end loads (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 MPa), and chemical environments (acetone, ethanol, and water) on the exploitable stroke of linear shape memory polymer (SMP) actuators made from ESTANE ETE 75DT3 (SMP-E). Dynamic mechanical t...
