In this study, which was inspired by mussel-biomimetic bonding research, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were interfacially modified with polydopamine (PDA) to prepare a novel nano-filler (CNTs@PDA). The structure and properties of the CNTs@PDA were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The CNTs and the CNTs@PDA were used as nanofillers and melt-blended into trans-1,4 polyisoprene (TPI) to create shape-memory polymer composites. The thermal stability, mechanical properties, and shape-memory properties of the TPI/CNTs and TPI/CNTs@PDA composites were systematically studied. The results demonstrate that these modifications enhanced the interfacial interaction, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of TPI/CNTs@PDA composites while maintaining shape-memory performance.

We processed a series of shape memory Eucommia rubber (ER) composites with both carbon–carbon and ionic cross-linking networks via a chemical cross-linking method. The influence of the carbon–carbon cross-linking and ion cross-linking degree of ER composites on curing, mechanical, thermal, and shape memory properties were studied by DSC, DMA, and other analytical techniques. Dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA) played a key role in preparing ER composites with a double cross-linking structure, where DCP initiated polymerization of ZDMA, and grafted ZDMA onto polymer molecular chains and cross-linked rubber molecular chains. Meanwhile, ZDMA combined with rubber macromolecules to build ionic cross-linking bonds in composites under the action of DCP and reinforced the ER composites. The result showed that the coexistence of these two cross-linking networks provide a sufficient restoring force for deformation of shape memory composites. The addition of ZDMA not only improved the mechanical properties of materials, but also significantly enhanced shape memory performance of composites. In particular, Eucommia rubber composites exhibited outstanding mechanical properties and shape memory performance when DCP content was 0.2 phr.

Crystalline grains of TPI distribute in NR/TPI blends in the role of physical crosslinking points and make up for deficiencies of the NR/TPI blending system. The flexibility and strength have been enhanced significantly by increasing the the addition level of TPI. The NR/TPI vulcanizates containing 30% of TPI were found to show the recovery rate of 99.4%, while the shape fixity was close to 100%. The study indicated that the recovery rates of NR/TPI vulcanizates depended to a large extent on the addition level of TPI. The influence of the addition level of TPI on the micro-structure of NR/TPI blends was investigated. In addition, the effects of TPI content on static mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical properties, shape-memory performance and cure characteristics of NR/TPI blends were also discussed.
