Description

Shape Memory Polymer NGX9020 – Ether Type

Product Overview

Shape Memory Polymer NGX9020 is an advanced stimuli-responsive ether-type polymer designed for smart applications across textiles, biomedical engineering, and aerospace industries. This polymer exhibits dual-shape capability, meaning it can return from a deformed (temporary) shape to its original (permanent) shape when exposed to an external stimulus — most commonly temperature.

With a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 90°C, NGX9020 can be programmed to hold a temporary shape at lower temperatures (glass phase), and recover its original form in the rubber phase when heated. It offers a high degree of flexibility, durability, and responsiveness, making it ideal for dynamic and high-performance applications.


🔹 Key Features

  • Smart shape-memory effect with dual-phase responsiveness

  • Excellent elasticity and flexibility, especially in rubber phase

  • Robust tensile strength and high elongation at break

  • Thermally activated transformation for precise control

  • Lightweight and durable with self-healing and functional design potential

🔹 Typical Applications

Shape Memory Polymer NGX9020 is used in a wide range of cutting-edge fields:

  • Biomedical: smart catheters, drug-delivery systems, biosensors, artificial muscles, self-tightening sutures

  • Aerospace: deployable structures, adaptive components

  • Automotive: self-healing materials, shape-adaptive body parts

  • Smart textiles: temperature-responsive fabrics, wearable technology

  • Consumer Products: toys, packaging, reusable materials with form memory
