Two-way bending properties of shape memory composite with SMA and SMP
Open accessAbstract
A shape memory composite (SMC) was fabricated with a shape memory alloy (SMA) and a shape memory polymer (SMP), and its two-way bending deformation and recovery force were investigated. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: (1) two kinds of SMA tapes which show the shape memory effect (SME) and superelasticity (SE) were heat-treated to memorize the round shape. The shape-memorized round SMA tapes were arranged facing in the opposite directions and were sandwiched between the SMP sheets. The SMC belt can be fabricated by using the appropriate factors: the number of SMP sheets, the pressing force, the heating temperature and the hold time. (2) The twoway bending deformation with an angle of 56 degrees in the fabricated SMC belt is observed based on the SME and SE of the SMA tapes during heating and cooling. (3) If the SMC belt is heated and cooled by keeping the bent form, the recovery force increases during heating and degreases during cooling based on the two-way properties of the SMC. (4) The development and application of high-functional SMCs are expected by the combination of the SMA and the SMP with various kinds of phase transformation temperatures, volume fractions, configurations and heating-cooling rates.

Two-way shape memory composites/laminates usually have two layered polymeric networks made of both SMPs, both non-SMPs, or a layer of a SMP and a non-SMP.
“Two-way shape memory composites/laminates usually have two layered polymeric networks made of both SMPs, or both non-SMPs, or a layer of a SMP and a non-SMP [147-153].”
From Two-Way and Multiple-Way Shape Memory Polymers for Soft Robotics: An Overview (2020) · cites this paper as [148]
The Abstract and Section 3.2 describe a layered composite that bends in two directions. But its components are SMP sheets and metal shape-memory-alloy tapes, not two polymeric networks. The paper does not establish that the listed polymer-layer combinations are usual for two-way composites. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe two-way SME of a laminate of shape-memorized round SMA tapes faced in opposite directions and sandwiched between SMP sheets was dependent on the variation of the elastic modulus and mechanical strength of the two SMA tapes and SMP with changing temperature.
“The two-way SME was dependent on the variation of the elastic modulus and mechanical strength of the two SMA tapes and SMP with changing temperature.”

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.
