Dose rate effects on shape memory epoxy resin during 1 MeV electron irradiation in air

Longyan Hou et al.

Summary: The effects of 1 MeV electron irradiation on shape memory epoxy resin were studied, revealing that low dose rates accelerated degradation of shape memory performance. The concentration of free radicals and the intensity of IR peaks exponentially increased with increasing irradiation time, potentially leading to an increase in oxidation products and accelerating material degradation.

A high-strength and high-toughness nacreous structure in a deep-sea Nautilus shell: Critical role of platelet geometry and organic matrix

S. M. Liang et al.

Summary: The study investigated the mechanical behavior of nacre in Nautilus and Cristaria plicata shells under various tests, finding that the nacre in Nautilus shells exhibited higher strength and toughness due to larger platelet aspect ratio and greater interfacial shear resistance. The findings suggest that the organic matrix adhesion and friction caused by nano-asperities on platelet surfaces contribute to the higher interfacial resistance in Nautilus shells. This research provides insights for designing strong and tough materials inspired by nacre for various applications.

Triple-Shape-Memory Soft Actuators from an Interpenetrating Network of Hybrid Liquid Crystals

Davey C. Hoekstra et al.

Summary: This study reports the formation of triple-shape-memory liquid crystalline-interpenetrating polymer network (LC-IPN) actuators based on a hybrid acrylate-oxetane LC mixture. Polymer films with two distinct glass-transition temperatures are created through the orthogonal polymerization of oxetane and acrylate liquid crystals, allowing for one-way triple-shape-memory actuation and two-way bending actuation with a broad temperature window. The results demonstrate the combination of shape memory polymers with liquid crystal-based soft actuators, showcasing advanced stimuli-responsive properties.
