Shape-memory carbon fiber (CF) polymer composites reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) as a filler based on a bio-based V-fa/ECO copolymer were prepared at different graphene GnPs and CF mass fractions using the hand lay-up and hot-pressing methods. The obtained composite specimens were subjected to flexural, dynamic mechanical, and shape-memory analyses. The obtained results revealed that the flexural strength and modulus were improved by the addition of the GnPs and CF due to the improvement in the interfacial adhesion and fiber reinforcement with up to 3 wt.
