A poly (vinyl butyral)/graphene oxide composite with NIR light-induced shape memory effect and solid-state plasticity
摘要： A NIR light-induced shape memory composite with light-induced plasticity was prepared by incorporating graphene oxide (GO) into cross-linked poly (vinyl butyral) (PVB). The cross-linked reaction between PVB and aromatic diisocyanate not only endowed the composites with excellent shape memory properties, but also offered the performance of solid-state plasticity due to the formation of carbamate bonds. The photo-responsive performance was introduced to the system by doping GO, a conventional photothermal reagent, resulting in excellent NIR light-induced shape memory properties and light-induced plasticity. According to the stress relaxation tests, the solid-state plasticity of composites could be regulated by the cross-linked density, GO, catalyst dosage and temperature. Moreover, the composites can be repeatedly programmed to a new permanent shape via a light-induced plasticity process, which still exhibited excellent light-induced shape memory properties even after 5 cycles of reconfiguration. The results demonstrate the promising prospect of these composites as actuator elements for applications in self-deployment devices and soft robotic.

Shape memory polymer resonators as highly sensitive uncooled infrared detectors
摘要： Uncooled infrared detectors have enabled the rapid growth of thermal imaging applications. These detectors are predominantly bolometers, reading out a pixel’s temperature change due to infrared radiation as a resistance change. Another uncooled sensing method is to transduce the infrared radiation into the frequency shift of a mechanical resonator. We present here highly sensitive resonant infrared sensors, based on thermo-responsive shape memory polymers. By exploiting the phase-change polymer as transduction mechanism, our approach provides 2 orders of magnitude improvement of the temperature coefficient of frequency. Noise equivalent temperature difference of 22 mK in vacuum and 112 mK in air are obtained using f/2 optics. The noise equivalent temperature difference is further improved to 6 mK in vacuum by using high-Q silicon nitride membranes as substrates for the shape memory polymers. This high performance in air eliminates the need for vacuum packaging, paving a path towards flexible non-hermetically sealed infrared sensors.
