Introduction

(SMP)DiAPLEXis the newly developed intelligent material which

changes its features according to temperature. (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Patented.)

1.A large reversible change in elastic modulus across the glass transition temperature (Tg) is unique to SMP.

A wide range of new applications for the SMP materials are expanding in such fields as a space exploration, medical, clothing, food packaging , health care, toys, and more.

Property of DiAPLEXProperty of DiAPLEX

Elastic Modulus PropertyThe elastic modulus changes largely at the temperature below(hard state) and above (soft state) the glass transition temperature (Tg)

Tg setting of the material can be designed at the desired temperature between

Property of DiAPLEX2Property of DiAPLEX2

Shape recovery and rigidationAt a temperature higher than the Tg, Shape memory polymer (SMP) can easily change form by applying low stress.To remove the external force at the low temperature (


Property of DiAPLEX3Property of DiAPLEX3

Energy dissipation propertyEnergy dissipation factor defined bytan change with the temperature and becomes very large compared to ordinary elastic material. These materials tan are in the range of 0.20.4

The tan of the DiAPLEX in the transition region is very similar to that of human skin, providing a natural smooth feel when SMP is used in region touched by hand.

Micro-Brownian motion allows the nonporous polymer membrane to transfer molecules of water vapor

Example of sophisticated applications(9)Example of sophisticated applications(9)

At low temperature the polymer molecular chains stop the transfer of water vapor.

As temperature increase, the formation of free space allows the transfer of water vapor.
