Abstract:2D braided shape memory composite (SMPC) tubes, with near-net shape manufacturing and programmable, are widely utilized in smart structures. Here we have developed braided tubes of continuous carbon fiber reinforced shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) composites. This innovative design yields a synergistic boost in both mechanical strength, shape memory functionality, and dual-trigger responsiveness. The mechanical properties, electrical/thermal shape memory performance, and recovery force of the SMPC tubes with … Show more
