Description
Shape Memory Polymer NGX2520 – Solution Type
Smart Polymer System with Thermal Responsiveness
Solvent: DMF | Viscosity (25 °C): 80,000 – 120,000 CPS | Residue: 30%
Product Overview
Shape Memory Polymer (SMP) NGX2520 is a cutting-edge, solution-type smart material designed to offer excellent dual-shape functionality. It demonstrates stimuli-responsive behavior, enabling it to return from a temporary, deformed shape to its original, permanent shape upon exposure to specific environmental triggers—primarily heat. This advanced polymer is especially tailored for applications requiring mechanical adaptability, reversibility, and flexibility in both glass (G/R) and rubber (R/R) regions.
SMP NGX2520 is supplied in DMF (dimethylformamide) solvent and exhibits ideal film-forming behavior for textiles, biomedical devices, soft robotics, and smart materials development.
