Different ionic liquid modified graphene nanosheets (IG) were induced into polyimide (PI) to improve the tribological, thermal, and mechanical properties of shape memory IG/PI composites. The results demonstrated that when using 1-aminoethyl-3-methylimidazole bromide to modify graphene nanosheets (IG-1), the laser-driven shape recovery rate of IG-1/PI composites (IGPI-1) reached 73.02%, which was 49.36% higher than that of pure PI. In addition, the IGPI-1 composite materials reached the maximum shape recovery rate within 15 s. Additionally, under dry sliding, the addition of IG can significantly improve the tribological properties of composite materials. IGPI-1 exhibited the best self-lubricating properties. Compared with pure PI, the friction coefficient (0.19) and wear rate (2.62 × 10–5) mm3/Nm) were reduced by 44.1% and 24.2%, respectively, and the T10% of IGPI-1 increased by 32.2°C. The Tg of IGPI-1 reached 256.5°C, which was 8.4°C higher than that of pure PI. In addition, the tensile strength and modulus of IGPI-1 reached 82.3 MPa and 1.18 GPa, which were significantly increased by 33.6% and 29.8%, respectively, compared with pure PI. We hope that this work will be helpful for the preparation of shape memory materials with excellent tribological, thermal, and mechanical properties.

Superelastic Behavior

Polycrystalline copper-based shape memory alloys have been of particular interest in relation to Ni-Ti because of their low cost and good shape memory effect. Nevertheless the absence of a pronounced pseudoelasticity effect restricts the number of potential applications. In this work, the influence of Nb and V on the microstructure and the mechanical properties was investigated. Samples of Cu-13.8 Al-Ni containing V and Nb alloy were prepared by induction and solution treated at 850°C and then further quenched into cold water. The addition of Nb and V promotes the formation of precipitates which act as grain refiner and subsequently improve the mechanical properties. The tensile tests were performed at temperatures slightly inferior to Mf and superior to Af, to investigate the shape recovery and pseudoelasticity, respectively. Based on the analyses of the Cu-13,8Al-2Ni-1Nb (wt%) alloy was detected rupture strains greater than 14%, besides observation of the superelasticity of these alloys and quantification of this property by means of cycling, from 0 to strains between 1 and 7%. The studies performed on alloy Cu-13.8Al- 3,5Ni-1V (wt%) made it possible to determine rupture strains in the order of 3% and its superelastic behavior through cycling for deformations between 1 and 3%.

Shape Memory Polyurethane

The relationship of annealing and shape memory effect of uniaxially oriented shape memory polyurethane was studied; meanwhile a new method of adjusting shape recovery ratio by annealing was proposed for further consideration. Experiments were designed to compare the influence on length change from annealing and shape memory effect with shape memory polyurethane film at 65°C. We found that for shape memory polyurethane which had residual strain from material processing procedure, annealing and shape memory effect have the same effect on its length change if they are both carried out at the same temperature. It is because annealing and shape memory effect have the same mechanism, which is the change of state from low conformational entropy states to the recovery of a stable high entropy state in the polymer. Moreover, it is proved by experiment that shape recovery ratio of shape memory polyurethane can be adjusted by annealing.

The structure and nanoscale mechanical properties of Ni48.8Mn27.2Ga24 thin film fabricated by DC magnetron sputtering are investigated systematically. The thin film has the austenite state at room temperature with the L21 Hesuler structure. During nanoindentation, stress-induced martensitic transformation occurs on the nanoscale for the film annealed at 823 K for 1 hour and the shape recovery ratio is up to 85.3%. The associated mechanism is discussed.

Effects of single- and multi-step aging on mechanical properties and shape memory properties of Ti-6Mo-8Al (mol%) biomedical shape memory alloy were studied using tensile tests at room temperature (RT). The solution-treated alloy at RT was two phase of bcc β and martensite α". Tensile tests revealed that the solution-treated alloy exhibited good shape memory effect. As for the single-step aging, (1) pseudoelastic shape recovery by unloading was observed after aging at 623K, (2) the alloy became brittle after aging at 773K due to ω embrittlement, and (3) strength was improved with small shape memory effect by aging at 1023K. On the other hand, after a multistep aging at 773K-1023K-1123K, the alloy was strengthened and showed perfect shape recovery. The improvement must be achieved by the formation of fine and uniform hcp α precipitates.
