Synergistic effect of carbon nanofiber and carbon nanopaper on shape memory polymer composite

Abstract: The present work studies the synergistic effect of carbon nanofiber (CNF) and carbon nanopaper on the shape recovery of shape memory polymer (SMP) composite. The combination of CNF and carbon nanopaper was used to improve the thermal and electrical conductivities of the SMP composite. The carbon nanopaper was coated on the surface of the SMP composite in order to achieve the actuation by electrical resistive heating. CNFs were blended with the SMP resin to improve the thermal conductivity to facilitate the hea… Show more

“…In a different approach, Lu et al [210] investigated the lowering of electrical resistivity for the commercially available epoxy-based SMP resin Veriflex ® E2 through blending carbon nanofibers with the resin and coating carbon nanopaper onto the surface of the composite. Due to the synergistic effects of fibers and paper, heat transfer was facilitated and the electrical resistivity of the SMP composite was 10 16 times lower than for pure SMP resin.…”

“…Thermally-actuated SMP has been widely applied and achieved great development. Compared with other intelligent materials, SMP possesses advantages of being low cost, low density and having high shape recovery ratios and so on [10][11][12][13][14]. As shown in figure 1, the classic thermo-mechanical cycle for thermal-induced SMP contains four steps.…”

“…However, this approach inevitably requires a high level loading of conductive fillers to achieve desirable efficiency of actuation. The high loading of filler tends to result in a high viscosity and strong interactions between the SMP resin and the conductive filler, which hinders the efficient manifestation of properties of the filler through to the matrix (Lu et al, 2010b).…”
