Title

Shape Memory Polymer Nanocomposites For High Speed Electrical Actuation

Abstract

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are becoming one of the most popular smart materials due their fantastic properties and great potential application in recent years. This paper presents a study on the synergistic effect of carbon nanofiber (CNF) and carbon nanofiber paper (CNFP) of the actuation of SMP nanocomposites by applying electric current. The shape memory effect has been greatly improved due to the significant increase in electrical conductivity by combining CNF and CNFP into SMP composites. In order to precisely obtain the deformation information of the SMP composites under electric field, a vision based 3D coordinate prediction system was designed. In addition, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was carried out to characterize the themomechanical properties of SMP composite.
