Abstract

Abstract: Carbon fiber reinforced shape memory polymer composite (SMPC) is a kind of smart material with shape memory characteristics, which is widely used in aerospace, biomedicine, robotics and other fields. In this paper, SMPC was prepared by heating molding process at five different molding temperatures. The effect of molding temperature on the shape memory performance of SMPC was studied. The results show that the shape memory properties of SMPC are closely related to the infiltration effect during the preparation process. When the molding temperature is 70 °C, SMPC has an optimum penetration effect and the preparation defects are effectively controlled. The shape fixing rate is 84.3%, and the shape recovery rate is 94.7%, which lays a foundation for the better application of shape memory composite.
