Abstract (English)	Fiber reinforced polymer rebars replace steel in concrete structures to prevent corrosion in harsh environments. Current epoxy production of FRP stirrups is complex/expensive. This project develops "dynamic epoxies" (CAN's) that remain re-shapeable after curing, enabling simpler FRP manufacturing.
