The role of the melting and crystallizing of the stearic acid network in retaining and releasing the mechanical deformation energy during the hot classical shape memory cycle
Shape memory natural rubber (SMNR) was prepared using a technique, Elastomer/small molecule blend shape memory polymers (SMPs), by impregnating the commercial natural rubber band (RB) with molten stearic acid (SA) for 2 h and at a temperature of 75 °C, to form commercial natural rubber band RB/based...
