Epoxy shape memory foam (ESM) was produced by an advanced aqueous method. Mixture of epoxy, sodium bicarbonate, hardener and ammonium chloride was premixed and emulsified in distilled water by using high speed stirring (at 1200 rpm). The content of sodium bicarbonate used was 5, 10, 15 and 20 phr. B...
