Recent Progress in Synthesis Methods of Shape-Memory Polymer Nanocomposites

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Shape Memory Composites Based on Polymers and Metals for 4D Printing

Abstract

Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) and their composites are a new class of smart polymer materials gaining wide attention due to their multifunctional applications in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), actuators for self-healing and health monitoring purposes, and biomedical devices. In this review chapter, we discuss the basics of shape-memory polymers (SMPs) and shape-memory polymer nanocomposites (SMPNCs) along with the working principle of their shape-memory property with a brief description of analysis techniques. To gain a systematic understanding, the following sections are dedicated to conventional as well as advanced methods of fabricating SMPNCs with suitable applications wherever relevant. We focus on the reinforcement strategies based on filler properties or matrix composition that enable the utilization of advanced manufacturing methods for potential applications including robotics, and biomedical devices with the activation by various stimuli.
