Triple-shape effect in polymer-based composites by cleverly matching geometry of active component with heating method

Abstract

A triple-shape effect is created for a segmented device consisting of an active component encapsulated in a highly flexible polymer network. Segments with the same composition but different interface areas can be recovered independently either at specific field strengths (Hsw) during inductive heating, at a specific time during environmentally heating, or at different airflow during inductive heating at constant H. Herein the type of heating method regulates the sequence order. Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
