The multicomposite styrene-based shape memory polymer can be selectively actuated by applying selective stimuli due to the selective heating properties of Fe3O4(30 kHz alternating magnetic field) and CNT (13.56 MHz radiofrequency field) nanofillers. Therefore, the multicomposite possesses a well-controlled multiple temporary shape recovery capability.

Styrene Copolymer

This paper is concerned about the synthesis of shape memory styrene copolymer and the investigation of the influence of radialization dosage on its shape memory effect. As one of novel actuators in smart materials, shape memory polymers (SMPs) have been investigated intensively. Styrene copolymer with proper cross-linking degree can exhibit shape memory effect (SME). In this paper, the influence of radialization on shape memory effect of styrene copolymer was investigated through altering the dosage of radialization. The radialization dosage of styrene copolymer was determined by changed radicalization time. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of styrene copolymerwas measured by Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). The shape memory performance of styrene copolymer with different radiated dosage was also evaluated. Results indicated that the shape memory polymer (SMP) was synthesized successfully. The Tg increased from 60°C to 65°C followed by increasing the radialization dosage. Moreover, the SMP experienced good SME and the largest reversible strain of the SMP reached as high as 150%. When heating above Tg+30°C (different copolymers performed different Tg), the shape recovery speed of the copolymers increased with increasing the radialization dosage. However, the recovery speed decreased with increasing the radialization dosage at the same temperature of 95°C.

The glass transition temperatures of epoxy-based shape memory polymers (SMPs), which contain a flexibilizer at various contents of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% respectively, are determined through DMA tests. The shape memory effect of such materials is investigated through shape recovery experiments. Experimental results show that the content of flexibilizer has much influence on the shape memory effect of epoxy-based SMP. A shape recovery equation is developed based on the results of shape recovery experiment. Numerical calculations show that the developed shape recovery equation well predicts the shape recovery behaviors of epoxy-based SMP.

Triple Helices

Shape-memory hydrogels (SMH) are multifunctional, actively-moving polymers of interest in biomedicine. In loosely crosslinked polymer networks, gelatin chains may form triple helices, which can act as temporary net points in SMH, depending on the presence of salts. Here, we show programming and initiation of the shape-memory effect of such networks based on a thermomechanical process compatible with the physiological environment. The SMH were synthesized by reaction of glycidylmethacrylated gelatin with oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) α,ω-dithiols of varying crosslinker length and amount. Triple helicalization of gelatin chains is shown directly by wide-angle X-ray scattering and indirectly via the mechanical behavior at different temperatures. The ability to form triple helices increased with the molar mass of the crosslinker. Hydrogels had storage moduli of 0.27–23 kPa and Young’s moduli of 215–360 kPa at 4 °C. The hydrogels were hydrolytically degradable, with full degradation to water-soluble products within one week at 37 °C and pH = 7.4. A thermally-induced shape-memory effect is demonstrated in bending as well as in compression tests, in which shape recovery with excellent shape-recovery rates Rr close to 100% were observed. In the future, the material presented here could be applied, e.g., as self-anchoring devices mechanically resembling the extracellular matrix.

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.

Using Ti-40mass%Ta-0, -4, -8 and -12mass%Sn alloys, the effect of Sn addition on phase constitution in the solution treated and quenched state and isochronal heat treatment behavior is studied by electrical resistivity and Vickers hardness measurements and X-ray diffactometry. To confirm shape memory effect of some of these alloys, shape-recovery test was also performed. Orthorhombic martensite, ” was identified in Ti-40Sn-0 to 8Sn alloy quenched from 1173K, while phase was identified in STQed Ti-40Ta-12Sn alloy. On isochronal heat treatment, increases of resistivity at LN and resistivity ratio were observed in only 8Sn alloy, because these increases are due to reverse-transformation of ” to phase. From result of shape recovery test, shape memory effect was observed in Ti-40Ta-4 and 8Sn alloys

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.
