Shape memory polymers (SMP) and composites (SMPC) may be used for many applications in Space, from self-deployable structures (such as solar sails, panels, shields, booms and antennas), to grabbing systems for Space debris removal, up to new-concept actuators for telescope mirror tuning. Experiments on the International Space Station are necessary for testing prototypes in relevant environment, above all for the absence of gravity which affects deployment of slender structures but also to evaluate the aging effects of the Space environment. In fact, several aging mechanisms are possible, from polymer cracking to cross-linking and erosion, and different behaviors are expected as well, from consolidating the temporary shape to composite degradation. Evaluating the possibility of shape recovery because of sun exposure is another interesting point. In this study, a possible experiment on the ISS is shown with the aim of evaluating the aging effect of Space on material performances. The sample structure is described as well as the testing strategy.

Low frequency internal friction of Ti49Ni51 binary and Ti50Ni40Cu10 ternary shape memory alloys has been measured. The effect of solution and aging heat treatments on the damping property was examined. The temperature spectrum of internal friction for TiNi binary alloy consists, in general, of two peaks; one is a transition peak which is associated with the parent-martensite transformation and is rather unstable in a sense that it strongly depends on the frequency and decreases considerably when held at a constant temperature. The other one is a very high peak of the order of 10-2, which appears at around 200K. It appears both on cooling and on heating with no temperature hysteresis, and is very stable. The behavior of the peak is strongly influenced by the heat treatments. The trial of two-stage aging with a purpose of improving the damping capacity has been proved unsatisfactory. TiNiCu has a very high damping, the highest internal friction reaching 0.2, but by quenching from very high temperature, say 1373K, the damping is remarkably lowered. For the realization of high damping the quenching from a certain temperature range around 1173K seems the most preferable condition.

This study investigated the effect of stress-induced martensite aging under tensile and compressive stresses on the functional and viscoelastic properties in Ni50.3Ti32.2Hf17.5 polycrystals containing dispersed H-phase particles up to 70 nm in size obtained by preliminary austenite aging at 873 K for 3 h. It was found that stress-induced martensite aging at 428 K for 12 h results in the appearance of a two-way shape memory effect of −0.5% in compression and +1.8% in tension. Moreover, a significant change in viscoelastic properties can be observed: an increase in internal friction (by 25%) and a change in elastic modulus in tensile samples. The increase in internal friction during martensitic transformation after stress-induced martensite aging is associated with the oriented growth of thermal-induced martensite. After stress-induced martensite aging, the elastic modulus of martensite (EM) increased by 8 GPa, and the elastic modulus of austenite (EA) decreased by 8 GPa. It was shown that stress-induced martensite aging strongly affects the functional and viscoelastic properties of material and can be used to control them.

Shape memory composites and structures were produced by using carbon fiber reinforced prepregs and a shape memory epoxy resin. The matrix of the prepregs was an epoxy resin as well but without remarkable shape memory properties. This way, two different technical solutions were adopted. Shape memory composite tubes and plates were made by adding a shape memory layer between two carbon fiber reinforced skins. An optimal adhesion between the different layers was achieved thanks to the compatibility of the prepreg matrix and the shape memory material. Shape memory composite structures were also produced by joining composite shells with shape memory foams. Mechanical, dynamic mechanical and shape recovery tests were carried out to show the properties of the composite materials and structures. Results confirm the ability of this class of materials to easily change their shape without affecting the mechanical stiffness of the recovered structures.
