Nano-modification of polyester has become a research hotspot due to the growing demand for high-performance polyester. As a functional carrier, silica nanoparticles show large potential in improving crystalline properties, enhancing strength of polyester, and fabricating fluorescent polyester. Herein, we briefly traced the latest literature on synthesis of silica modifiers and the resultant polyester nanocomposites and presented a review. Firstly, we investigated synthesis approaches of silica nanoparticles for modifying polyester including sol-gel and reverse microemulsion technology, and their surface modification methods such as grafting silane coupling agent or polymer. Then, we summarized processing technics of silica-polyester nanocomposites, like physical blending, sol-gel processes, and in situ polymerization. Finally, we explored the application of silica nanoparticles in improving crystalline, mechanical, and fluorescent properties of composite materials. We hope the work provides a guideline for the readers working in the fields of silica nanoparticles as well as modifying polyester.

“…The introduction of rare-earth ions or their complexes into polymer matrix has been carried out for few decades. In general, there are four methods for preparing rare-earth-fabricated polymers termed as blending, polymerization, sol-gel methods and solution mixing, which can be more simply classified as chemical and physical incorporations (Yan, 2017). In this study, Nd-based and Yb-based rare-earth organic complexes have been mixed into SMP epoxy using the solution cast method.…”

Light-activated shape memory polymer composites (LASMPCs) have the ability to facilitate breakthrough technological advancements in aerospace and space engineering applications since the shape memory effect can be remotely controlled by a light beam. Introduction of rare-earth organic complexes–based photothermal fillers such as Nd(TTA)3Phen and Yb(TTA)3Phen into thermally activated shape memory polymers has been reported as a convenient and commercially available approach to prepare light-activated shape memory polymer composites. Such light-activated shape memory polymer composites undertake selective photothermal stimulation due to light and applicable for macroscale and microscale applications. This article presents the effects of added rare-earth organic complexes of Nd(TTA)3Phen and Yb(TTA)3Phen, as well as glass fibre reinforcements on structural performance and shape memory behaviour of light-activated shape memory polymer composites. The physical and mechanical properties, as well as thermomechanical, shape memory, and photothermal behaviours, were systematically investigated. It has been found that the combination of photothermal fillers and glass fibre reinforcements has enhanced the capacity of light-activated shape memory polymer composites to apply for a wider range of large-scale engineering applications.
