Novel insulation materials made from shape memory polymers are being developed and tested by the Fraunhofer Institutes for Applied Polymer Research IAP, for Chemical Technology ICT, and for Building Physics IBP as part of the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Programmable Materials CPM. The high-tech foams are intended for use as functional materials in applications such as construction.
Fraunhofer IAP
The synthesized shape memory polymers are processed on special reactive foam systems.
