Abstract:Shape memory rubber (SMR) is a type of smart rubber that can undergo reversible changes when exposed to external stimuli such as temperature, solvent, pH, light, magnetic field and oxidation. Lightly crosslinked rubber demonstrated shape memory behaviour without any initial heat treatment. However, the strength of lightly crosslinked natural rubber latex (NRL) film cured by sulphur is relatively low. With the concept of sustainability in mind, the idea of fabricating green smart material for continuous develop… Show more
