Abstract:TPI shape memory materials' low flexibility and poor mechanical properties currently limit their use in a broader range of applications. Most scholars use high performance fillers to improve their mechanical properties. However, the cost of high-performance fillers is high. Therefore, the introduction of flexible natural rubber (NR) and low-cost organic clay (OC) into the trans-1,4-polyisoprene (TPI) matrix as the reinforcing phase. A new shape memory polymer— TPI/NR/OC, was prepared by mechanical melt blendin… Show more
