Cold Hibernated Elastic Memory Structure - Self-Deployable Technology and Its Applications

Riassunto

Cold hibernated elastic memory (CHEM) is a smart material technology that uses shape memory polymers in cellular structures. CHEM foams use the foam's elastic recovery and their shape memory to erect structures. This book describes CHEM structure technology, provides property data, discusses advantages over other deployable structures.
