聚乙烯醇基聚合物材料在多元驱动方式下的形状记忆行为

形状记忆聚合物（SMPs）是近些年发展起来的一种环境响应型智能材料。在外界刺激驱动下分子内或分子间会发生物化变化,分子结构和形态的改变使形变后的材料在宏观上回复到起始形态。常见的SMPs有聚乙烯、聚氨酯、聚己内酯等,而聚乙烯醇（PVA）的形状记忆效应是在热致型形状记忆凝胶被发现以来才引起人们关注的。由于PVA侧链富含大量羟基,化学活性高、易与官能团进行功能化改性,因此可设计出满足不同驱动方式的分子结构。目前研究者已采用冻融循环、化学或辐射交联、接枝改性及共混复合等多种方法制备了多种刺激源（如温度,溶剂、光、电、微波及超声波等）驱动下的形状记忆聚乙烯醇（SM-PVA）、PVA衍生物及复合材料。本文综述了近年来不同刺激源驱动下SM-PVA的研究进展,阐述了不同材料的结构性能、回复机理及存在的问题,并展望了PVA在该领域的发展和应用前景。

Shape Rememorization of an Organosuperelastic Crystal through Superelasticity–Ferroelasticity Interconversion

As altering permanent shapes without loss of material function is of practical importance for material molding, especially for elastic materials, shape‐rememorization ability would enhance the utility of elastic crystalline materials. Since diffusionless plastic deformability can preserve the crystallinity of materials, the interconversion of diffusionless mechanical deformability between superelasticity and ferroelasticity could enable shape rememorization of superelastic single crystals. This study demonstrates the shape rememorization of an organosuperelastic single crystal of 1,4‐dicyanobenzene through time‐reversible interconversion of superelasticity–ferroelasticity relaxation by holding the mechanically twinned crystal without heating. The shape‐rememorization ability of the organosuperelastic crystal indicates the compatibility of superelasticity (antiferroelasticity) and ferroelasticity as well as the intrinsic workability of organic crystalline materials capable of recovering their crystal functions under mild conditions.     

A remarkable shape-catalytic effect of confinement on the rotational isomerization of small hydrocarbons

As part of an effort to understand the effect of confinement by porous carbons on chemical reactions, we have carried out density functional theory calculations on the rotational isomerization of three four-membered hydrocarbons: n-butane, 1-butene, and 1,3-butadiene. Our results show that the interactions with the carbon walls cause a dramatic change on the potential energy surface for pore sizes comparable to the molecular dimensions. The porous material enhances or hinders reactions depending on how similar is the shape of the transition state to the shape of the confining material. The structure of the stable states and their equilibrium distributions are also drastically modified by confinement. Our results are consistent with a doubly exponential behavior of the reaction rates as a function of pore size, illustrating how the shape of a catalytic support can dramatically change the efficiency of a catalyst.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Liquid Crystalline Epoxides with Lateral Substituent Showing Imposing Shape Memory Properties

In this work, a series of novel shape memory liquid crystalline (LC) epoxides with lateral substituent were prepared and characterized. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and shape memory testing were used to investigate on the thermo-mechanical properties and shape memory effects of prepared samples. The results showed that the modulus in the rubbery region (E_R ) decreased as the length of lateral alkyl group increases. And more than 95% of the deformation can be fixed as the sample was cooled down below the glass transition temperature (T_g), which was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement, and can be recovered completely as heating. Effects of the curing agent and substituent on the shape memory behavior were also studied. We found that LC epoxides cured by aromatic diamine have a higher recovery speed. The recovering speeds of the shape memory decreased as the length of lateral alkyl group inscreased. The local ordered structures and the lateral substituent played an important role in shape memory effects.     

Shape memory effect and mechanical properties of graphene/epoxy composites

Graphene/epoxy shape memory composites were fabricated with graphene from a simple and low cost method of chemical oxidation-reduction process. The fine and homogeneous dispersion of graphene throughout the epoxy matrix with different graphene mass fraction were prepared and their properties were investigated. It was found that storage elastic modulus rose with the increase of graphene mass fraction, which indicated that the recovery stress of graphene/epoxy composites would be greater than that of the pure epoxy. The graphene/epoxy composites with lower content graphene showed a good shape memory effect and a recovering speed superior to the pure epoxy.     

Shape-dependent magnetic properties of low-dimensional nanoscale Prussian blue (PB) analogue SmFe(CN)6.4H2O

Unique nanorods and nanobelts of Prussian blue (PB) analogue SmFe(CN)6.4H2O have been successfully synthesized by using reverse micelles as colloidal soft templates; magnetic studies show that the shape of the low-dimensional nanoscale material is a dominating factor for its coercivity due to the effect of shape anisotropy.     

Separation of iodine produced from fission using silver-coated alumina

A method developed for the preparation of silver-coated alumina, a new material for retention of iodine from alkaline solution is described. Experiments were carried out, oriented to the purification step of ⁹⁹Mo produced by uranium fission, based on the retention of radioiodine in this material. Iodine retention, as well as molybdenum non-retention, were found, both with excellent results. Further tests showed that the incorporation of this material has no influence on the subsequent ⁹⁹Mo retention in ion exchange resins. The elution of the radioiodines retained was tested with satisfactory results. This new material can be used not only for improving the ⁹⁹Mo purification and working conditions, but also as the basis of a method for recovering the fission produced ¹³¹I.

Fluorinated Azobenzenes for Shape‐Persistent Liquid Crystal Polymer Networks

Liquid crystal polymer networks respond with an anisotropic deformation to a range of external stimuli. When doped with molecular photoswitches, these materials undergo complex shape modifications under illumination. As the deformations are reversed when irradiation stops, applications where the activated shape is required to have thermal stability have been precluded. Previous attempts to incorporate molecular switches into thermally stable photoisomers were unsuccessful at photogenerating macroscopic shapes that are retained over time. Herein, we show that to preserve photoactivated molecular deformation on the macroscopic scale, it is important not only to engineer the thermal stability of the photoswitch but also to adjust the cross‐linking density in the polymer network and to optimize the molecular orientations in the material. Our strategy resulted in materials containing fluorinated azobenzenes that retain their photochemical shape for more than eight days, which constitutes the first demonstration of long‐lived photomechanical deformation in liquid‐crystal polymer networks.     

Investigation into stress recovery behavior of shape memory polyurethane fiber

In this work, the stress recovery behavior of shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) fiber was investigated. The as‐spun SMPU fibers were subjected to various programing‐recovery conditions. It was observed that recovering at 100 °C generated higher recovery stress than recovering at 150 °C. It was also found that, while hot‐drawn programed fiber has higher recovery stress than cold‐drawn programed fiber if recovered at 100 °C, cold‐drawn programed fiber has higher stabilized recovery stress than hot‐drawn programed counterpart when recovered at 150 °C. A morphological model was proposed based on the results from differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, and X‐ray diffraction to understand the physics behind the different stress recovery behaviors. It is found that SMPU experiences different phase transitions and phase separations under different programing and stress recovery conditions. It is concluded that the two sequential phase separations taking place at 100 and 150 °C are primarily responsible for the differences in the stress recovery behavior. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
