Enhancing the Thermal Performance of Shape Memory Polymers: Designing a Minichannel Structure
This research proposes a numerical approach to improve the thermal performance of shape memory polymers (SMPs) while their mechanical properties remain intact. Sixteen different 3D minichannel structures were numerically designed to investigate the impact of embedded water flow in microchannel netwo...
