CRG's
Shape Memory Composite Systems
Veritex is the trademark name for CRG's
family of dynamic shape memory composites. Dynamic polymer composites
are like other high-performance composites, except CRG's shape
memory polymer, Veriflex®,
is used as the matrix. Fabrication with Veriflex resin allows
easy manipulation of the composite above its activation temperature
and high strength and stiffness at lower temperatures.
Veritex composites capitalize on the
ability of the shape memory resin to quickly soften and harden
repeatedly. Because of this property, the composites can be temporarily
softened, reshaped, and rapidly hardened to function as structures
in a variety of configurations. They can be fabricated with nearly
any fiber type, and creative reinforcements allow dramatic shape
changes in functional structures. Veritex is also machinable.
Some possible applications include rapid manufacturing, dynamic
structures, composite patching, and adaptable reinforcement.
The photos below show composite Veritex
material. These composite structures can be temporarily manipulated
for storage and/or transportation, or their configurations changed
in real-time to fulfill varying applications.
Veritex is the base material found in
Rec'Repair
and Rubbn'Repair
patch material.
