We show that the combination of remote, local, and chemical programming of the multishape memory effects offers unparalleled shape and function control in carbon nanotube-Nafion composites. This strategy not only allows the high-fidelity encoding and extraction of designed material shapes at different length scales (macro, micro, and nano) but also enables the reversible tunability of material functions, such as shape memorizability, mechanical properties, surface hydrophobicity, and material resealability, in a single nanocomposite.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
