Here strong electroactive shape memory nanocomposites were prepared by incorporating graphene nanoplatelets into poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) through the simple solvent mixing method. TEM and XRD revealed that well exfoliated graphene nanoplatelets formed a continuous network throughout the matrix with a large amount of interconnectedness. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the inclusion of graphene...
The aim of this work was to prepare shape memory materials from poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc), a low-cost commercial polymer, through the simple solution mixing method without need for complex synthetic routes. However, neat PVAc with inherent low strength and modulus exhibited inappropriate shape memory behavior. Therefore, stiff graphene nanoplatelets were incorporated within the PVAc matrix to improve...
