It offers readers a clear exposition of shape-memory-composite (SMC) preparation techniques for 3D and 4D printing processes, along with applications in robotics, construction, medical science, and smart sensors. The book covers fundamental background knowledge on shape memory polymers and alloys, additive manufacturing techniques, and the use of hybrid nanofillers and synergistic composite mixtures. It also highlights the differences between novel SMCs and traditional metal alloys, organic and inorganic composites, and their potential to improve mechanical properties triggered by external sources. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 412 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19 May 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShape Memory Composites Based on Polymers and Metals for 4D Printing is a comprehensive exploration of the physics and chemistry driving this rapidly evolving field of materials science. It offers readers a lucid explanation of shape-memory-composite (SMC) preparation methods for 3D and 4D printing processes, while also delving into how intelligent manufacturing technology can be applied across industries such as robotics, construction, medical science, and smart sensors. The book covers fundamental background knowledge on shape memory polymers (SMPs) and shape memory alloys (SMAs), as well as additive manufacturing techniques. It separately addresses polymers and metals and their roles in 4D printing, while also dedicating a chapter to exploring the diverse applications of 4D printing. Thorough analysis is conducted on the different alloy compositions and nanoparticle fillers used in polymer composites, along with the key mechanisms involved in their processing. Special attention is given to hybrid nanofillers and synergistic composite mixtures, which are either widely employed or have demonstrated promising results in the realm of 4D printing. Differences between these novel SMCs and traditional metal alloys, organic and inorganic composites, and methods for enhancing mechanical properties triggered by external sources like magnetic fields, temperatures, and pH of solvents are presented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book serves as a valuable resource for practitioners, industrial researchers, and scholars seeking a state-of-the-art overview of SMP\/SMA synthesis, additive manufacturing, modification in the synthesis of SMCs for 4D printing, and their potential future applications. By delving into the intricate details of these materials, it empowers readers to harness the power of shape memory composites in a wide range of innovative and groundbreaking endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 811g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030941130\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103272235258,"sku":"9783030941130","price":124.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1662169169142_book.jpg?v=1662415230","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/shape-memory-composites-based-on-polymers-and-metals-for-4d-printing-processes-applications-and-challenges-9783030941130","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
