	%X This paper presents a rheological model for producing
shape-memory thermoplastic polymers. Shape-memory occurs as a
result of internal rearrangement of the structural elements of a
polymer. A non-linear viscoelastic model was developed that allows
qualitative and quantitative prediction of the stress-strain behavior of
shape-memory polymers during heating. This research was done to
develop a technique to determine the maximum possible change in
size of shape-memory products during heating. The rheological
model used in this work was particularly suitable for defining process
parameters and constructive parameters of the processing equipment.
