By incorporating amide hydrogen bonding interactions, researchers have developed a new material called poly(amide-imide) hybridization networks, which exhibit superior shape memory behavior, thermal stability, and mechanical strength, making them promising candidates for aerospace applications.
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) show tremendous application prospect in various fields owing to their stimuli responsiveness. However, their application in the high value-added aerospace industry still remains a great challenge, since it is problematic to engineer SMPs with both ideal shape memory properties and high heat resistance as well as outstanding mechanical strength. Herein, by incorporating amide hydrogen bonding interactions into a robust imide polymer backbone, a series of poly(amide-imide) hybridization networks have been fabricated, showcasing superior shape memory behavior together with impressive thermal stability and high mechanical strength, with a T-g above 300 degrees C and a tensile strength up to 108.3 MPa. Among all polymers, m-3FPAI exhibits outstanding heat resistance, high mechanical strength, low moisture sensitivity, excellent shape memory property and prominent multiple shape memory tolerance. After six consecutive cycles, a R-f still above 98.5% with a R-r ranging from 97.8% to 100% was observed, making m-3FPAI a promising candidate to be used in aerospace application.
