Fabric‐reinforced shape memory polymer composites are lightweight, strong, formable, controllable, and suitable for various engineering and innovative applications. This study aims to fabricate and characterize electrothermal dual drive shape memory polymer composite fabrics (SMPCFs) of different densities with three‐dimensional (3D) angle‐interlock structures. The tensile properties, electrothermal properties, recovery forces (both tensile and bending), and shape recovery properties of SMPCFs were evaluated. The SMPCFs exhibited a tensile elongation of over 20% at the transition temperature. SMPCFs can reach transition temperatures when loaded with 2 V. The recovery forces are up to 225 N in tensile recovery force and 3.6 N in bending recovery force. In the shape recovery test, the recovery ratio exceeded 97%. Finally, the demonstration of recovery properties can stimulate the possibilities of SMPCFs in innovation and applications.Highlights Core‐shell structured composite filaments were prepared. 3D angle‐interlock composite fabrics: high strength, electrothermal drive. Tensile recovery force of composite fabrics can be up to 225 N. Elongation at transition temperatures was up to 20%.

“…The authors demonstrated that an applied voltage was able to trigger shape recovery in the 3D woven multilayered laminate, which has a relevant application in actuation and sensing. 13 Other ideas of enhancing the low velocity impact tolerance included using grid stiffened composites [14][15][16] and using hybrid metal/polymer composites. [17][18][19][20] An important development in using metal/polymer composites is the use of shape memory alloy (SMA) wires as both reinforcement and functional devices.…”

Laminated multifunctional composites are highly desired in modern lightweight engineering structures. The purpose of this study is to develop a composite laminate with impact tolerance, delamination healing, strain sensing, Joule heating, deicing, and room temperature shape restoration functionalities. In this study, a novel self-healable and recyclable shape memory vitrimer was used as the matrix, unidirectional glass fabric was used as reinforcement, and tension programmed shape memory alloy (SMA) wires were used as z-pins. To provide multifunctionality, the programmed SMA wires were further twisted and formed into sinusoidal shape. Copper wire strands were hooked to the sinusoidal SMA z-pins to make them a closed circuit. Low velocity impact, compression after impact, damage self-healing, deicing, and room temperature shape restoration tests were conducted. The tests result show that the desired multifunctionality of the laminated composite was achieved. The hybrid laminate provides a promising design for lightweight load-carrying engineering structures.

Graphite oxide (GO)‐carbon fiber (CF) hybrid reinforced shape memory polymer composites (SMPC) with different GO content were prepared by vacuum infiltration hot‐press forming experimental system (VIHPS). By studying the wettability and adhesion characteristics between the shape memory matrix and CF, it was found that the addition of GO could improve the ability of the matrix to wet the CF surface and enhance the interface bonding. The shape memory performance of the composite with GO was better than that of CF reinforced epoxy matrix composite. The shape fixed rate increased by nearly 8%, and the shape recovery rate increased by nearly 13%. Combined with the test results and the characterization analysis of microstructure, the strengthening effect of GO was mainly reflected in the following aspects. Firstly, the surface folds of GO and its two‐dimensional grid structure increased the surface roughness and wettability of CF, forming a mechanical interlock among GO, reinforcement and matrix. The mechanical interlock promoted the reinforcement and matrix to have an ideal interfacial bonding strength. Secondly, the addition of GO was conducive to the transfer of deformation force and heat to prevent stress concentration in the composite and significantly improved the shape memory performance of the composite.
