Computational Modeling of Intelligent Soft Matter: Shape Memory Polymers and Hydrogels in Bloomington, MN

Computational Modelling of Intelligent Soft Matter: Shape Memory Polymers and Hydrogels
covers the multiphysics response of various smart polymer materials, such as temperature-sensitive shape memory polymers and temperature/ chemosensitive hydrogels. Several thermo–chemo-mechanical constitutive models for these smart polymers are outlined, and their real-world applications are highlighted. The numerical counterpart of each introduced constitutive model is also presented, empowering readers to solve practical problems requiring thermomechanical responses of these materials as well as design and analyze real-world structures made of them.
