Fabricating fast triggered electro-active shape memory graphite/silver nanowires/epoxy resin composite from polymer template

Abstract In recent years shape-memory polymers have been under intense investigation due to their unique mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties that could potentially make them extremely valuable in numerous engineering applications. In this manuscript, we report a polymer-template-assisted...
