Abstract
This review is focused on the most recent research on multifunctional shape memory polymer nanocomposites reinforced by various nanoparticles. Different multifunctional shape memory nanocomposites responsive to different kinds of stimulation methods, including thermal responsive, electro-activated, alternating magnetic field responsive, light sensitive and water induced SMPs, are discussed separately. This review offers a comprehensive discussion on the mechanism, advantages and disadvantages of each actuation methods. In addition to presenting the micro- and macro- morphology and mechanical properties of shape memory polymer nanocomposites, this review demonstrates the shape memory performance and the potential applications of multifunctional shape memory polymer nanocomposites under different stimulation methods.
