Abstract

Shape memory polymers (SMP) have piqued the interest of the research and development sector due to their new features and immense potential. The polymer matrix epoxy was changed using varied weight percentages of aliphatic monomer-neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether (NGDE), and the optimal weight percentage of NGDE was identified. The weight percentages of NGDE-CNT are 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, and 1.5. The use of nanofillers such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) has been promoted to improve the heat conductivity of composites. The thermal conductivity of shape memory polymers has been enhanced through the addition of varying quantities of CNT filler. Mechanical characterizations such as tensile testing, Young’s modulus, impact strength, and heat related tests such as form recovery testing, shape fixity, and recovery time were also investigated. From the investigational outcomes, optimal weight percentage of NGDE loading into epoxy is 15%, and maximum tensile strength attains at 1.2 wt. percent of CNT.
