Crack self-healing of thermo-responsive shape memory polymers with application to control valves, filtration, and drug delivery capsule

Fracture behavior of Shape Memory Polymers (SMPs) and their self-healing property is one of the up-to-date subjects through the literature, where only a few researches have been conducted. Nowadays, because of the exceptional properties of SMPs and their implementation in 4D printing, they are most taken into attention. In this study, thermomechanical coupling effect on 3D fracture analysis of SMPs in large deformation regime has been...
