Achieving considerable shape-memory effects is a challenge for typical sea-island structured polymer blends. In this article, we successfully fabricated a novel heat-triggered shape-memory polymer (HSMP) based on ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer/nitrile–butadiene rubber (EVA/NBR) thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) via dynamic vulcanization. The influence of deformation temperature ( Td), recovery temperature ( Tr), and recovery time on the shape-memory behavior of the EVA/NBR (weight ratio = 80/20) TPV was investigated systematically. The shape-memory result of the EVA/NBR (weight ratio = 80/20) TPV demonstrated that when the Td was close to the melting temperature ( Tm) of the EVA phase (76°C), the TPV could obtain a good shape fixity ratio (>95%) and an excellent shape recovery ratio (>95%) at 100% stretch ratio. A shape-memory mechanism was proposed for this HSMP. The dynamic mechanical analysis results under temperature sweep mode showed that with increasing EVA content in TPVs, the tan δ decreased, while the storage modulus increased. The morphology observation showed that the cross-linked NBR particles were dispersed evenly in the etched surface of EVA/NBR TPV with an average diameter of approximately 2–6 μm. The longitudinal stretching surface of the EVA/NBR TPV exhibited the banding-like texture microstructure during the stretching process.

In this study, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer-based blend foams with polyolefin elastomers (POEs), low-density polyethylene, or styrenic thermoplastic elastomers were prepared as a potential resilient material for reducing inter-floor noise. Various properties of EVA blend foams were measured in order to reveal the effects of EVA content and types of pair polymers consisting of EVA blend foams on dynamic stiffness, which is one of the key factors of resilient materials, in relation to hardness, specific gravity, and resilience. These properties had not been introduced by the construction industry until now. When the EVA/POE ratio was 20/80 and the foaming ratio was 210%, dynamic stiffness presented the lowest value at 5.97 MN m−3. However, when the resilience was <20%, dynamic stiffness was as high as 37.66 MN m−3 at an expansion ratio of 210% even when the specific gravity was low.
