Abstract

The impact of the deformation conditions, specifically the temperature, on the shape‐memory behavior and characteristics of epoxy SMPs is studied. By simply varying the temperature during deformation (i.e., the programming step of the SM effect), the ultimate strain of the formulated epoxy was improved three‐ to five‐fold, thereby providing for an increased range of reachable deformation strains during SM thermo‐mechanical cycling. This research unveils newly developed epoxy‐based SMPs with improved deformability range and high strength with intrinsically good thermal and chemical stability.

The effects of crosslink functionality ( f c ), molecular weight between crosslinks (M c ), and chain stiffness display on the thermal and mechanical behavior of epoxy networks are determined. Both f c and M c are controlled by blending different functionality amines with a difunctional epoxy resin.
