“…Polypropylene (PP) is the second most used polymer; it exhibits excellent chemical resistance, facile processability through different techniques (such as injection and extrusion), and low‐cost production, which in turn makes it a versatile option for several industries, such as construction, 1–3 automobiles, 4 food packaging 5 and others 6–8 . There are some drawbacks that limit the wider use of PP, such as high flammability, low tensile strength and low impact resistance, and it is a poor barrier for O 2 gas 9,10 .…”

Solid alkaline sensors containing polypropylene (PP) and four different bromocresol purple‐based multilayered hybrid sensitive materials (using silica and polymethacrylic acid [PPMA]) were synthesized. The material was used to sense two alkaline vapors: ammonia and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) from fish deterioration. The sensor performances were analyzed by color evaluation, the mechanical properties were assessed by tensile tests, and the dispersion of the sensitive materials into the PP matrix was analyzed by X‐ray computed microtomography. Three of the four composites exhibited sensitivity toward ammonia vapors, with values of ∆E*ab > 5; however, the sensitive composites showed lower sensitivity toward VBN, with values of ∆E*ab < 3.5. The samples showed an elongation at break below 5%, which is characteristic of brittle materials. The X‐ray computed microtomography analysis revealed that the PMAA‐based hybrid sensor exhibited better dispersion in the PP matrix than the silica‐based sensor.

As a result of nanotechnological advancement, parameters inducing flaws in shape memory polymers (SMP), such as weak mechanical properties, low electrical, and thermal conductivities, and so on, were mitigated through the inclusion of a versatile range of nanomaterials such as montmorillonites, carbon nanotubes, graphene and derivatives, cellulose nanocrystals, carbon nanofibers, and so on, thereby forming shape memory polymeric nanoarchitectures (SMPNs). Hence, this work elucidates most recently emerging advancements on multifunctional SMPNs filled by differing nanoparticulates. Varying multifunctional SMPNs exhibit responsivity to varying forms of stimulation strategies, including thermal responsivity, electroactivated, alternating magnetic field responsivity, light sensitivity, and water induced SMPs. Therefore, this article presents very recently emerging advancements in the construction, characterization, properties, and multifunctional applications of stimuliresponsive SMPNs, with special emphasis on functional and stimuli-responsive SMPNs. Furthermore, important functions of SMPNs such as stimuli-memory effect and self-mending abilities, as well as prospective strategies for future progress of these materials are highlighted.
