Article Synopsis
  • - This study introduces a new composite material made by integrating laser-induced graphene (LIG) onto a polylactic acid (PLA) substrate, resulting in a shape memory polymer composite (SMPC) that can respond to multiple stimuli and detect its own deformation.
  • - LIG was successfully transferred onto the PLA substrate using hot compression, showing good adhesion and optimal electrical properties, which enable temperature control through Joule heating when power is applied.
  • - The composite’s ability to react to infrared light and self-sense deformation via changes in electrical resistance provides a simple manufacturing method, paving the way for advanced materials that are both responsive and capable of real-time monitoring without the need for additional components.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated how loading titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles into a bio-based benzoxazine/epoxy copolymer affects the performance of the composite, particularly focusing on its shape memory properties under sunlight irradiation.
  • Researchers found that varying levels of TiN (from 1 to 7 wt%) improved the light absorbance, thermal stability, and physical properties (visco-elastic and tensile) of the composites, with an optimum performance observed at TiN-5(wt%).
  • The composite with the highest TiN loading (TiN-7(wt%)) demonstrated significant enhancements in shape memory performance, achieving a shape fixity ratio of 95% and a recovery time of 38 seconds, showcasing the

In this work, shape memory polymers (SMPs) were developed from a combination of a bio-based benzoxazine (BZ) monomer and polyurethane prepolymer (PU-prepolymer), both derived from bio-based raw materials. The bio-based BZ monomer (V-fa monomer) was synthesized through a Mannich condensation reaction using vanillin, paraformaldehyde, and furfurylamine. The bio-based PU-prepolymer was obtained by reacting palm oil polyol (MW = 1400 Da) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI).
