Electrical actuation and shape recovery control of shape-memory polymer nanocomposites

Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) are one of the most popular smart materials due to their light weight and high elastic deformation capability. The synergistic effect of carbon nanofiber (CNF) and carbon nanofiber paper (CNFP) on the electro-actuation of SMP nanocomposites was studied. The electrical co...
