Characristics of Shape Memory Composites Combined with Shape Memory Alloy and Shape Memory Polymer

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to develop high functionality of shape memory materials, the shape memory composites combined with TiNi wire and shape memory epoxy were prepared, and the mechanical and thermomechanical properties were studied. The results showed the addition of TiNi wire increased the Young modulus and breaking strength both at room temperature and at elevated temperature. The composites maintained the rates of shape fixity and shape recovery close to 100%. The maximum recovery stress increased with increasing TiNi wire volume fraction, and obtained almost 3 times of the matrix by adding 1vol% TiNi wire.
