A spatially and temporally controlled shape memory process for electrically conductive polymer–carbon nanotube composites
Abstract
Crosslinked P(MMA-BA)–CNTs shape memory composites prepared by ultrasound assisted in situ polymerization, have both relatively high electrical conductivities and good shape memory properties. Electrical resistance heating was used as a trigger to realize the spatial and temporal control of the shape memory process and to obtain multiple shapes by selecting the place where the electrical voltage was applied or switching the power on/off.

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.
