Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are ones which can return to their original shape under impact of temperature or external magnetic field. The SMAs are capable of many applications in the fields of biomedical, aerospace, microelectronics, automation, for examples, orthodontics, stents, bone anchors, automatic valves, heat sensors, nanotweezers, robots... Recently, researchers have discovered the shape memory effect (SME) on high entropy alloys (HEAs). The combination of superior properties of SMAs and HEAs (high strength, heat resistance, low diffusion coefficient...) would bring useful practical applications in practice. In this paper, we will present an overview of the research situation of SMAs and our initial results obtained on Ni-Ti based alloys of Ni-Ti, Ni-Ti-Zr-Cu-Cr, Ni-Ti-Zr-Cu-Co, Ni-Ti-Zr-Cu-Nb, and Ni-Ti-Zr-Cu-Hf prepared by melt-spinning method.

The relationship of annealing and shape memory effect of uniaxially oriented shape memory polyurethane was studied; meanwhile a new method of adjusting shape recovery ratio by annealing was proposed for further consideration. Experiments were designed to compare the influence on length change from annealing and shape memory effect with shape memory polyurethane film at 65°C. We found that for shape memory polyurethane which had residual strain from material processing procedure, annealing and shape memory effect have the same effect on its length change if they are both carried out at the same temperature. It is because annealing and shape memory effect have the same mechanism, which is the change of state from low conformational entropy states to the recovery of a stable high entropy state in the polymer. Moreover, it is proved by experiment that shape recovery ratio of shape memory polyurethane can be adjusted by annealing.

The present study is dedicated to the microstructure characterization of the as-cast high entropy intermetallics that undergo a martensitic transformation, which is associated with the shape memory effect. It is shown that the TiZrHfCoNiCu system exhibits strong dendritic liquation, which leads to the formation of martensite crystals inside the dendrites. In contrast, in the CoNiCuAlGaIn system the dendritic liquation allows the martensite crystals to form only in interdendritic regions. This phenomenon together with the peculiarities of chemical inhomogeneities formed upon crystallization of this novel multicomponent shape memory alloys systems will be analyzed and discussed.

One-dimensional shape memory polymer fibers (SMPFs) have obvious advantages in mechanical properties, dispersion properties, and weavability. In this work, a method for fabricating semi-crystallization ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) fiber with two-way shape memory effect by melt spinning and ultraviolet (UV) curing was developed. Here, the effect of crosslink density on its performance was systematically analyzed by gel fraction measurement, tensile tests, DSC, and TMA analysis. The results showed that the crosslink density and shape memory properties of EVA fiber could be facilely adjusted by controlling UV curing time. The resulting EVA fiber with cylindrical structure had a diameter of 261.86 ± 13.07 μm, and its mechanical strength and elongation at break were 64.46 MPa and 114.33%, respectively. The critical impact of the crosslink density and applied constant stress on the two-way shape memory effect were analyzed. Moreover, the single EVA fiber could lift more than 143 times its own weight and achieve 9% reversible actuation strain. The reversible actuation capability was significantly enhanced by a simple winding design of the single EVA fiber, which provided great potential applications in smart textiles, flexible actuators, and artificial muscles.

At room temperature, Fe-15Mn-5Si-9Cr-5Ni alloys are usually austenitic and the application of a stress induces a reversible martensitic transformation leading to a shape memory effect (SME). However, when a ribbon of this material is obtained by melt-spinning, the rapid solidification stabilizes a high-temperature ferritic phase. The goals of this work were to find the appropriate heat treatment in order to recover the equilibrium austenitic phase, characterize the ribbon form of this material and evaluate its shape memory behaviour. We found that annealing at 1050°C for 60 min, under a protective argon atmosphere, followed by a water quenching stabilizes the austenite to room temperature. The yield stress, measured by tensile tests, is 250 MPa. Shape-memory tests show that a strain recovery of 55% can be obtained, which is enough for certain applications.
