A series of shape memorized liquid crystalline epoxides with different length of lateral substituents were prepared with several kinds of hardener. The dynamic mechanical analysis and the sharp memory properties of the resulted LC epoxy resins were studied by POM, WAXD, DSC and DMA. The results showed that the modulus in the rubbery region (ER) of the LC epoxides decreases as the length of lateral alkyl groups increases. And the shape memory properties were strongly impacted not only by the length of lateral substituents, but also by the kinds of hardener. The recovering speeds of the shape-memory liquid crystalline epoxides decrease as the increasing length of lateral alkyl groups. And recovering speeds of LC epoxides cured with aromatic amine (DDM) are faster than that of LC epoxides cured with anhydride (THHPA). The local ordered structures and the lateral substituents played an important role in shape memory effects.

In this work, a damping material was successfully prepared by blending acrylic rubber (ACM) and polylactide (PLA) with sulfur and soap salt as the curing agents. A phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin was used as a modifier. The effects of PF on the mechanical properties, damping properties, compatibility and shape memory properties of the blends were studied. The compatibility and damping properties were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscope and microstructure analysis. The shape memory properties were examined by thermal mechanical analyser. The results revealed that the tensile strength of the blends was decreased and the toughness was increased with the increase of PF loadings. The introduction of PF improved the compatibility between PLA and ACM, which was deduced from the fact that the glass transition temperature of ACM was increased and the two loss factor peaks became closer. It was also found that the loss factor peak became higher and the effective damping temperature range became wider due to the formation of hydrogen bonding, implying that the damping properties of ACM/PLA blends were significantly improved. The ACM/PLA blends exhibited good dual-shape memory effect and its shape recovery ratio was increased by introduction of PF and raising the trigger temperature. The blends also exhibited good triple-shape memory property, which was dramatically improved by the introduction of PF. The mechanisms for the enhanced shape memory effects were then analysed.

Triple-shape memory epoxy composites with bilayer structures of well-separated glass transition temperatures have been successfully prepared. The different glass transition temperatures of the epoxy composites were obtained by physically incorporating various amounts of nanosilica particles, which were introduced into the epoxy by utilizing polyethylene glycol. A scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope were used to analyze the dispersibility of the nanosilica particles. The effects of nanosilica particles on the mechanical properties as well as on the dual-shape memory effects (DSME) and triple-shape memory effects (TSME) of the nanocomposites were studied. The nanosilica particles were homogenously dispersed in the matrix and well incorporated into the epoxy matrix. The resulting nanocomposites exhibited excellent TSME, and their shape fixity properties were significantly improved by nanosilica particles.
