| Research Abstract |
A method to realize two-way behavior for a shape memory polymer actuator has been proposed. Two kinds of SMPs with different glass transition temperatures are used. The memory shape appears at the lower Tg, and then this memory shape is canceled by the other memory shape generated at the higher Tg. We confirmed the effectiveness ofthe proposed method experimentally.
