Co-Ni alloys exhibit g(fcc)®e(hcp) martensitic transformation and show reversible induced strain under applied magnetic field, which means they are potential magneto-shape-memory materials. Polystalline of Co-Ni alloys with varied Ni content were prepared. The g(fcc)®e(hcp) martensitic transformation and shape memory effect (SME) of Co-Ni alloy were studied. The influences of Ni content and deformation temperature on SME were discussed. The shape recovery rate and recoverable strain decrease with the increase of Ni content.

Ternary Element

High temperature shape memory alloys offer numerous potential applications in industrial domains like aeronautics. Even if up to now, none of the studied alloys have found a place in airplane turbines, research in this field is still active. Starting from the well-known “room temperature” shape memory alloy NiTi, it has been demonstrated that the addition of a ternary element such as gold in substitution of nickel greatly enhances the temperatures of the martensitic transformation. In the binary TiAu compound, the martensite start temperature can attain 875 K with satisfying reversibility and cycling stability. From lattice parameters measurements, it has been shown that the maximum transformation strain can reach 10.75 % for Ti47Au53alloy, which is comparable to that of the NiTi alloy. However, to the best of our knowledge, quantitative measurements of the recoverable strain by shape memory effect are not available in the literature. We present here some quantitative results of shape memory effect associated to this phase transformation in Titanium-Gold alloys measured after compression tests.

Triple Helices

Shape-memory hydrogels (SMH) are multifunctional, actively-moving polymers of interest in biomedicine. In loosely crosslinked polymer networks, gelatin chains may form triple helices, which can act as temporary net points in SMH, depending on the presence of salts. Here, we show programming and initiation of the shape-memory effect of such networks based on a thermomechanical process compatible with the physiological environment. The SMH were synthesized by reaction of glycidylmethacrylated gelatin with oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) α,ω-dithiols of varying crosslinker length and amount. Triple helicalization of gelatin chains is shown directly by wide-angle X-ray scattering and indirectly via the mechanical behavior at different temperatures. The ability to form triple helices increased with the molar mass of the crosslinker. Hydrogels had storage moduli of 0.27–23 kPa and Young’s moduli of 215–360 kPa at 4 °C. The hydrogels were hydrolytically degradable, with full degradation to water-soluble products within one week at 37 °C and pH = 7.4. A thermally-induced shape-memory effect is demonstrated in bending as well as in compression tests, in which shape recovery with excellent shape-recovery rates Rr close to 100% were observed. In the future, the material presented here could be applied, e.g., as self-anchoring devices mechanically resembling the extracellular matrix.
