| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study aims at establishing experimental and numerical methods to evaluate the relationship between microstructural change and functional properties of materials, which is important for mechanical functions of polymer materials. Specifically, focusing on shape change functions of shape memory polymers, we developed fluorescence spectroscopy for evaluating property change under thermomechanical loadings and dynamic viscoelastic simulations based on molecular dynamics. Results indicated that initial structural changes with thermomechanical loadings could be detected by the immersion of fluorescence dyes into the materials. Dynamic viscoelastic simulations clarified the effect of aggregated structures of hard segments inside the polymers on viscoelastic properties.
