Shape memory polymer/graphene nanocomposites: State-of-the-art

Ayesha Kausar

Summary: This review highlights the importance of shape memory polymer/graphene nanocomposites. Graphene, as a nanofiller, can enhance the performance of polymer matrices and possesses outstanding electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, flexibility, and thermal stability characteristics. By optimizing graphene dispersion and interface interactions, high-performance stimuli-responsive nanocomposites can be achieved. These materials have potential applications in aerospace/automotive components, self-healing, textiles, civil engineering, and biomaterials.

Yujie Wang et al.

Summary: This study reports semi-crystalline polyurethanes with shape memory and self-healing effects, and investigates their structure, morphology, properties, self-healing mechanism, and shape memory mechanism.

Multi-scale coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the thermo-mechanical behavior of shape-memory polyurethane copolymers

Sungwoo Park et al.

Summary: Shape-memory polyurethanes (SMPUs) are smart semi-crystalline polymers with heat-induced shape memory. A study using a coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD) model found that the ratio of hard to soft segments in SMPU copolymers is crucial for shape-memory performance, and that CG modeling can capture mesoscale phenomena like polymer crystallization. Additionally, investigating the effects of hard-segment content on thermo-elastic behavior and shape-memory properties of SMPU copolymers revealed significant impacts on macroscopic shape-memory behavior.

Influence of hard segment content and soft segment length on the microphase structure and mechanical performance of polyurethane-based polymer concrete

Hao Huang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the structure-property relationship of PU binders with varying hard segment content and soft segment molecular weight. Results showed that increasing hard segment content or larger soft segment molecular weight enhanced hydrogen bonding and microphase separation, improving mechanical performance. Higher hard segment content led to better performance but shorter pot life. Adjusting hard segment content and soft segment length can effectively modify the engineering performance of PU-based polymer concrete.

Summary: Novel composites consisting of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) and two types of graphene materials, graphene oxide (GO) and partially reduced graphene oxide (rGO), significantly influence the structure organization of the polymeric matrix, with GO acting as a nucleation agent to enhance PCL crystallization. The characteristics of the studied nanofillers, such as the level of organization (D/G ratio) and the in-plane size of the nano-crystallites (L-a), do not differ greatly, but have the ability to impact the polymeric matrix differently.
