An adhesive composition comprising a solids component, said solids component including a rubber component that includes polychloroprene; and a solvent component, said solvent component including t-butyl acetate.

An adhesive composition comprising a solids component, said solids component including a rubber component that includes polychloroprene; and a solvent component, said solvent component including t-butyl acetate.

The present invention is an adhesive composition for stabilizing an electrical conductor. The adhesive composition includes a base polymer and an additive for absorbing UV light, such as a benzotriazole or a benzophenone. When the adhesive composition is in contact with the electrical conductor, the electrical conductor has less than about a 20% change in electrical resistance over a period of about 500 hours.

Shape memory polymers (SMP) based on poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) in the presence of 2-carboxyethyl acrylate oligomers (CEA), multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and cross linked by ionizing radiation were investigated. Chemical crosslinking by glutaraldehyde for PVA in the presence of CEA and MWCNTs was also studied. Radiation cross linked SMP exhibits good temperature responsive shape memory behavior as demonstrated by thermal properties of radiation investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis. Transition temperature at Tan δ of radiation cross linked SMP decreased significantly by 6 and 13° C. due to addition of MWCNTs. The developed SMP exhibited promising shape memory behavior of radiation cross linked SMP for biomedical applications between temperatures range of Tan δ. Results on the gel fraction revealed significant reduction in swelling and increase in gelation due to chemical cross linking with glutaraldehyde. The radiation cross linked SMP reached 100% gelation at an irradiation dose of 50 kGy.
