Synopsis

Shape memory polymers are a huge innovation which could transform the future of the textile and garment industry. Imagine never having to iron again as the polymers on or in your clothes remember their original shape, creases disappear and clothes return to their original sleek state after heat treatment like washing or treating with steam. As well as being developed into shape memory fabrics for clothing, medical and other applications, tailor-made shape memory polymers can be used for fibre production and textile finishing. This important book reviews the structure, synthesis and preparation of shape memory polymers, methods for analysing and modelling shape memory properties, and applications for particular fibres such as shape memory polyurethane (SMPU).

Key Features: reviews the structure, synthesis and preparation of shape memory polymers; assesses methods for analysing and modelling shape memory properties; an authoritative overview of particular fibres such as shape memory polyurethane (SMPU).

Contents: Preparation of shape memory polymers; Characterization technique for shape memory polymer; Structure and properties of shape memory polyurethane ionomer; Water vapor permeability of shape memory polyurethane; Characterization of shape memory properties in polymers; Structure modeling of shape memory polymers; Environmental sensitive polymer gel and its application in textiles field; Evaluation of shape memory fabrics; Shape memory textiles.
