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.

Shape Memory Behaviour

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.

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.

AbstractThis paper summarizes our recent study of NiAI+Fe+B alloy ribbons containing 4 to 20% Fe and doped with 300 wt ppm B. Alloy ribbons were successfully fabricated by rapid solidification via melt spinning. The alloys with 8% Fe and 34% Al-equivalent [=Al%+(Fe%)/2] showed the best bend ductility at room temperature. The ribbons exhibited a reversible martensite (body-centered orthorombic structure) to B2 transformation as evidenced by DSC, X-ray and TEM studies. The shape-memory effect, as characterized by measuring the recovery of bend angles with temperature, is sensitive to alloy composition, with the best recovery observed in SMA-15 (B-doped Ni-27% Al-14% Fe). Annealing at 600°C causes aging embrittlement; in particular, in alloys containing 12% Fe.

The methods of electron microscopy, resistometry and magnetometry are used to study ten (36-38)Co - (32-36)Ni - (27-30)Al (at. %) alloys. Cast coarse-crystalline and microcrystalline alloys made by melt spinning in a helium atmosphere are considered. It is shown that the martensite start temperature Ms becomes 30-50°C lower as grains are refined to 1 m m. Replacement of 1 at. % cobalt by nickel and 1 at. % aluminum by nickel makes the temperature interval of the В2«L10 martensite transformation (30-60)°C and (100-110)°C higher respectively. The martensite transformation hysteresis is about 100 degrees. The melt-spun Co38Ni34Al28 alloy with the transformation temperatures Мs = 31°С, Мf = –34°С, Аs = –6°С, Аf = 70°С and Тс = 98°С is a material possessing the magnetically controlled shape memory effect.

Shear Transformation

An interest in NiTi alloys with near stoichiometric composition (55 NiTi) has intensified since they were found to exhibit a unique mechanical shape memory effect at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory some twelve years ago (thus refered to as NITINOL alloys). Since then, the microstructural mechanisms associated with the shape memory effect have been investigated and several interesting engineering applications have appeared.The shape memory effect implies that the alloy deformed from an initial shape will spontaneously return to that initial state upon heating. This behavior is reported to be related to a diffusionless shear transformation which takes place between similar but slightly different CsCl type structures.
