In this work, micro-compression tests are performed at various temperatures with Ti-27Nb (at.%) single crystalline pillars to investigate anisotropic deformation behavior, including the shape memory effect. In non-tapered single-crystal pillars with loading directions parallel to [001], [011], and [111], transformation strain and stress show orientation dependence. [001]-oriented micropillars with aspect ratios of 2 and 1.5 demonstrate temperature-dependent transformation stress during micro-compression at various temperatures. Although more stress is required to induce martensite transformation in the pillar with the lower aspect ratio, the temperature dependence of ~1.8 MPa/K observed in both pillars is in good agreement with that of bulk Ti-27Nb.

Ternary Element

High temperature shape memory alloys offer numerous potential applications in industrial domains like aeronautics. Even if up to now, none of the studied alloys have found a place in airplane turbines, research in this field is still active. Starting from the well-known “room temperature” shape memory alloy NiTi, it has been demonstrated that the addition of a ternary element such as gold in substitution of nickel greatly enhances the temperatures of the martensitic transformation. In the binary TiAu compound, the martensite start temperature can attain 875 K with satisfying reversibility and cycling stability. From lattice parameters measurements, it has been shown that the maximum transformation strain can reach 10.75 % for Ti47Au53alloy, which is comparable to that of the NiTi alloy. However, to the best of our knowledge, quantitative measurements of the recoverable strain by shape memory effect are not available in the literature. We present here some quantitative results of shape memory effect associated to this phase transformation in Titanium-Gold alloys measured after compression tests.

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.

Ferromagnetic Shape Memory

The martensitic transformation, crystalline structure, microstructure and shape memory effect of the Ni53.25Mn21.75Ga25 (at.%) alloy are investigated by means of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and the standard metal strain gauge technique. The XRD results showed that the Ni53.25Mn21.75Ga25 alloy is composed of cubic parent phase at room temperature. TEM observation proved that the typical twin martensite is tetragonal structure and tweed-like contrast which is typical image for the parent phase. A large reversible transformation strain, about 0.54%, is obtained in this undeformed polycrystalline alloy due to martensitic transformation and its reverse transformation. This transformation strain is also increased to 0.65% by the external magnetic field. It is believed that the effect of the magnetic field on the preferential orientation of martensitic variants increases the transformation strain.

Martensite Structure

Effect of Ta-alloying on microstructure, martensitic transformation, mechanical property and shape memory effect of Ni54Mn25Ga17.5Ta0.5 alloy has been systematically investigated. The results show that the substructure of Ni-Mn-Ga alloy significantly changed, which was converted from the plate martensite to the lath martensite. Compression tests show that a compressive strength of 1380 MPa with a fracture strain up to 21.92% can be achieved in the Ni54Mn25Ga17.5Ta0.5 alloy at room temperature. This is no changed martensite structure with non-modulated T martensite. In addition, the martensitic transition temperature obviously decreases from 350 °C to 208 °Cand hysteresis loop increases about 20 °Cwhen Ta substituted of Ni. The shape memory effect increased with the increase of pre-deformation, nevertheless, the shape recovery ratio appeared firstly increases and then decreases. When the pre-deformation is 10%, 15%, 20%, the shape memory effect of the alloy is 5.1%, 6.8% and 10%, respectively.

Effective Use

The development of adaptive medical structures is one of the promising areas of bioengineering. Polymer composite materials based on polylactide (PLA) are interesting not only for their properties, such as biocompatibility, mechanical properties, biodegradation, and convenience of use, but also for demonstrating shape memory effect (SME). In this study, reducing the activation initiation temperature and the SME activation energy was achieved by forming a composite based on PLA containing 10% poly (ε -caprolactone) (PCL). The effect of the plasticizer on the structure, mechanical properties, and especially SME of the composite, was studied by DSC, SEM, FTIR spectroscopy, compression tests, and DMA. By varying the composition, the beginning of the SME activation was reached at 45 °C, and the apparent activation energy of the process decreased by 85 kJ/mol, ensuring safe and effective use of the material as a precursor for temporary self-fitting scaffolds for reconstructive surgery.
