Abstract
Epoxy shape memory polymers (SMPs) were preparation and their mechanical properties are focused on. Full shape recovery is observed at 150 °C for each polymer, and the SMP with lower hardener content shows a quicker shape recovery speed. In addition to a good thermal stability, glass transition temperature of the polymers increases with increasing hardener content. Of particular attention of DMA test is that the epoxy SMPs show a high storage modulus not only in glass state but also in rubber state. The tension test indicates that both stress at break and corresponding elastic modulus vary with a peak value for the polymers.
