Dear all. We would like to purchase shape memory polymers for the research purpose in South Korea. We found two distributors: Composite Technology Development. Inc (U.S.) and DIAFLEX. Inc (Japan). However, they have not been answered my contact mails. If you have any other option to buy SMP, please notice me with specific information.
We are also welcoming to offer your own SMP that you mixed yourself. If you contact me, we may discuss more details! :-)
You can synthesize SMP via curing BADGE, Jeffamine and DA in a 4:1:2 ratio (the TG should be near 60-80 oC).
I will not go into details since there are many papers on this topic.
As your suggestion, many references for synthesizing SMP have been presented. However, since we don't have enough facilities and experiences, we do not want to synthesize it ourselves. Anyway, thanks a lot! :-)
the nature of the SMP is that the SMP 'remembers' the shape in which it is polymerized/cured/crosslinked i.e. the conformation of the SMP you purchase is the form it will 'recover' to. This is the reason why there aren't many companies sell this as they do with polymer pallets
Thank you for your answer, Kassim! :-)
Fortunately, I also managed it from SMPTECH in Japan.
Anyway, I would like to know what kind of purpose you use SMP.
I am using pellet and resin types of SMP, and I contact Kanamaru Yuriko in SMPTECH by e-mail.
These are her e-mail address and website:

I think you can contact SMPTECH easily. :-)
Good luck.
Hello everyone. I am looking for ready-to-use SMPs as well.. I think that I will buy something from mindsetsonline and inventables, too. Anyway, there are also shrink films on Amazon (Grafix KSF50-C), if someone's interested. Bye.
