Shape Memory Polymer derived Nanocomposites: Features to Cutting-Edge Advancements summarizes the up-to-date of fundamentals and applications of the shape memory polymer derived nanocomposites. Design and fabrication of shape memory polymeric nanocomposites have gained significant importance in the field of up-to-date nano/materials science and technology. In recent times, the shape memory polymers and nanocomposites have attracted considerable academic and industrial research interest. This feature book will present a state-of-the-art assessment on the versatile shape memory materials. The flexibility, durability, heat stability, shape deformability, and shape memory features of these polymers have shown dramatic improvements with the nanofiller addition. Appropriate choice of the stimuli-responsive polymer, nanofiller type and content, and fabrication strategies may lead to enhanced physicochemical features and stimuli-responsive performance. Several successful stimuli-responsive effects have been achieved in the shape memory nanocomposites such as thermo-responsive, electro-active, photo-active, water/moisture-responsive, pH-sensitive, etc. Consequently, the shape memory polymer based nanocomposites have found applications in high-tech devices and applications.
This book initially offers a futuristic knowledge regarding indispensable features of the shape memory polymeric nanocomposites. Afterwards, the essential categories of the stimuli-responsive polymer-based nanocomposites have been discussed in terms of recent scientific literature. Subsequent sections of this book are dedicated to the potential of shape memory polymer-based nanocomposite in various technical fields. Significant application areas have been identified as foam materials, aerospace, radiation shielding, sensor, actuator, supercapacitor, electronics and biomedical relevance. The book chapters also point towards the predictable challenges and future opportunities in the field of shape memory nanocomposites.
