Magnetically aligned carbon nanotube in nanopaper enabled shape-memory nanocomposite for high speed electrical actuation
Open accessAbstract
A new shape-memory nanocomposite that exhibits rapid electrical actuation capabilities is fabricated by incorporating self-assembly multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanopaper and magnetic CNTs into a styrene-based shape-memory polymer (SMP). The MWCNT nanopaper was coated on the surface to give high electrical conductivity to SMP. Electromagnetic CNTs were blended with and, vertically aligned into the SMP resin upon a magnetic field, to facilitate the heat transfer from the nanopaper to the underlying SMP. This not only significantly enhances heat transfer but also gives high speed electrical actuation.

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.
