Non-contact actuation of triple-shape effect in multiphase polymer network nanocomposites in alternating magnetic field

Abstract

Triple-shape polymers (TSP) can memorize two independent shapes, which are recovered when the temperature is subsequently increased. Certain applications do not allow triggering of the triple-shape effect (TSE) by environmental heating (e.g. potential damaging of surrounding tissue) and therefore require a non-contact activation. Here we explored whether polymer nanocomposites can be designed, which enable non-contact activation of TSE in an alternating magnetic field. A series of nanocomposites were synthesized by incorporation of silica coated iron(III)oxide nanoparticles into a polymer network matrix containing poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) (PCHMA) segments. Triple-shape functionalization of the materials was realized by application of different thermomechanical procedures (single or two dual-step), in which samples were deformed by bending to minimize changes in S/V ratio during shape recovery. For quantification of triple-shape properties inductive heating experiments were conducted in an alternating magnetic field at frequency of f = 258 kHz. By increasing the magnetic field strength H the triple-shape effect was triggered, while the maximum achievable temperature Tmax and the shape change was monitored using an infrared video camera. Excellent triple-shape properties were achieved for nanocomposites containing 40 wt-% of PCL exhibiting a two-step recovery of shapes B and C, when stimulated by step-wise increasing the magnetic field strength. In this way the TSE could be characterized by two distinct switching magnetic strengths Hsw,1(A → B) and Hsw,2(B → C) corresponding to the switching temperatures determined in cyclic, thermomechanical tensile tests for thermally-induced TSP.

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Filling a triple-SMP with silica-coated nano iron(III) oxide particles and stepwise increasing magnetic field strength from 14.6 and 29.4 kA/m produced triple-shape memory behavior.

    “With the stepwise increases of the magnetic field strength from H ¼ 14.6 and 29.4 kA/m, tripleshape memory behavior was observed.”
  • A triple-SMP filled with silica-coated iron(III) oxide nanoparticles programmed using the one-step method achieved non-contact actuation of the triple-SME using an alternating magnetic field.

    “For example, Kumar et al. [382] programmed a triple-SMP filled with silica-coated iron(III)oxide nanoparticles using the one-step method.Non-contact actuation of the triple-SME using an alternating magnetic field was achieved.”
  • Embedding silica coated Fe2O3 nanoparticles in PCL/PCHMA matrix and applying one or two step shape programming unveiled triple-shape properties in alternating magnetic field.

    “The authors embedded silica coated Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles in a (PCL/poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) (PCHMA)) matrix, applied a one or two step shape programming procedure and unveiled triple-shape properties in an alternating magnetic field.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
