Optically triggered and spatially controllable shape-memory polymer–gold nanoparticle composite materials
Abstract
A new optically triggered shape memory composite material was prepared and investigated. Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-surface functionalized AuNPs were loaded in a thermosensitive shape-memory polymer (SMP) matrix of biodegradable, branched oligo(ε-caprolactone) (bOCL) cross-linked with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI), referred to as XbOCL. By making use of a localized photothermal effect arising from the SPR absorption of AuNPs, we are able to demonstrate an optically triggered and spatially selective shape recovery process, with a stretched AuNP-loaded XbOCL film undergoing stepwise contraction and lifting of a load. Since the shape recovery process can be halted at any time by turning off the light exposure, multiple intermediate shapes can readily be obtained. These are appealing features that cannot be obtained from thermally activated SMPs based on a bulk thermal effect. Moreover, the magnitude of the photoinduced temperature increase of the material can be controlled by adjusting the laser power, it is also possible to use the same AuNP-loaded composite material for applications with different environmental temperatures below Ttransition, since the thermal transition at T > Ttransition can be optically induced by a laser from different environmental temperatures.

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.
