Shape Memory Polymers, Blends and Composites

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 115))

Abstract

The polymeric shape-memory materials, which generally trigger the shape-memory effect (SME) via direct heating, have been the rising star in the field of smart materials. Recently, numerous efforts have been paid to explore the alternative methods for realizing SME by indirect actuation, for further extending the practical application. Incorporation of functional groups or/and fillers is the most convenient route to endow the shape-memory matrix with enhanced properties of inductive heating, which has been rapidly developed to achieve new stimulus-responsive behavior. Herein, the novel functions of the shape-memory polymers, polymer blends, and composites including optical, electrical, and magnetic properties will be introduced. Moreover, the operative mechanism and optimization method of the different properties will be substantially discussed considering the composition change, morphology control, and structure design as well as the filler type, concentration, and dispersion. Finally, an outlook is presented describing the future challenges of this promising field.
