Why is it important?

Glass transition temperature (Tg) is crucial in determining application areas of high temperature shape memory polymers (SMPs), but some Tgs are difficult or uneconomic to be obtained.

Perspectives

The copolymerization of shape memory polyimides has offered an effective way to obtain high temperature SMPs with controllable glass transition temperatures(Tgs).
