A new shape-memory nanocomposite that exhibits rapid electrical actuation capabilities is fabricated by incorporating self-assembly multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanopaper and magnetic CNTs into a styrene-based shape-memory polymer (SMP). The MWCNT nanopaper was coated on the surface to give high electrical conductivity to SMP. Electromagnetic CNTs were blended with and, vertically aligned into the SMP resin upon a magnetic field, to facilitate the heat transfer from the nanopaper to the underlying SMP. This not only significantly enhances heat transfer but also gives high speed electrical actuation. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3585669]
