Abstract
In this work, we have discussed a new tailorable, high temperature SMP resin that can be readily processed to be incorporated into a composite matrix. Both neat resin and unidirectional laminates were fabricated and their glassy and rubbery responses characterized in bending. The shape memory behavior was analyzed under multiple temperature/deformation cycles to evaluate the fatigue effects. Results demonstrate that we have successfully developed SMP resin and composites with high Tg close to the desired value of 121oC, good shape fixity (>84%) and near complete recovery (> 94%).
