Recent progress in shape memory polymer: New behavior, enabling materials, and mechanistic understanding

TL;DR: Progress in new shape memory enabling mechanisms and triggering methods, variations of in shape memory forms (shape memory surfaces, hydrogels, and microparticles), newshape memory behavior (multi-SME and two-way-S ME), and novel fabrication methods are reviewed.

Structural Relaxation of Polymer Glasses at Surfaces, Interfaces, and In Between

TL;DR: The glassy-state structural relaxation of polymers near surfaces and interfaces by monitoring fluorescence in multilayer films is analyzed, finding that the distribution in relaxation rates extends more than 100 nanometers into the film interior, a distance greater than that over which surfaces and interface affect the glass transition temperature.

Challenges and opportunities for mixed-matrix membranes for gas separation

TL;DR: In this article, a review of major challenges surrounding mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) and strategies to tackle these challenges are given in detail, and major models for separation performance prediction of MMM are reviewed in terms of their interrelations and limitations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural heterogeneities and mechanical behavior of amorphous alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the recent advances on the understanding of structural heterogeneities in metallic supercooled liquids and the influence of the structural heterogeneity on the overall mechanical properties of the corresponding amorphous alloys.

On the Temperature Dependence of Cooperative Relaxation Properties in Glass‐Forming Liquids

TL;DR: In this paper, a molecularkinetic theory was proposed to explain the temperature dependence of relaxation behavior in glass-forming liquids in terms of the temperature variation of the size of the cooperatively rearranging region.

Non-symmetrical dielectric relaxation behaviour arising from a simple empirical decay function

TL;DR: In this article, the empirical dielectric decay function γ(t)= exp −(t/τ 0)β was transformed analytically to give the frequency dependent complex dielectrics constant if β is chosen to be 0.50 in the range log(ωτ0) > −0.5.

Analysis of recent measurements of the viscosity of glasses

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the results given by English with those of Washburn, Shelton and Libman, indicating a discrepancy in the absolute values of log10 viscosity amounting to 0.6.
