Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Typical stress–strain curves, (b) comparison of different mechanical properties of the synthesized copolyamide and biocomposites, (c) photograph of bent PSMS70 biocomposite, (d) storage ( E ′) and loss ( E ″) moduli, and (e) loss factor (tan δ) of the synthesized copolyamide and biocomposites versus temperature. The solid and blank symbols represent the storage modulus and loss modulus, respectively.
Article Snippet: Moreover, the shape memory and shape recovery properties of the pure polymer and biocomposites, including those with 10 and 50% OSA- g -starch, were evaluated through cyclic thermomechanical testing, confirming their outstanding shape recovery capabilities.
