报告简介：

   A few new shape memory phenomena have been reported recently, and right now, we have seen a range of shape memory materials (SMMs), from alloys and ceramics to polymers and gels, developed and well documented in the literature.

The interesting feature of the shape memory effect (SME), which is different from the shape change effect (SCE) in utilizing traditional materials and is behind all shape memory phenomena, provides us with many new approaches for advanced applications, in which conventional approaches may have difficulties to cope with.

In this talk, a brief review of the various shape memory phenomena in SMMs is presented. The fundamentals behind them are discussed. The important features of the advanced shape memory technology are explained. Updated typical applications in the whole life cycle of products, from design, fabrication to repairing/recycling, are revealed to demonstrate the potential advantages of this technology. 

报告人简介：

   Dr. WeiMin Huang is currently an Associate Professor (tenured) at the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. With over 20 years of experience on various shape memory materials (alloy, polymer, composite and hybrid), he has published over 180 papers in journals, such as Accounts of Chemical Research, Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, and Materials Today, and has been invited to review manuscripts from over 250 international journals (including Progress in Polymer Science, Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, and Advanced Functional Material, etc), project proposals from American Chemical Society, Hong Kong Research Grants Council, etc, and book proposals from Springer, CRC and Elsevier. He has published two books (Thin film shape memory alloys – fundamentals and device applications, and Polyurethane shape memory polymers) and is currently on the editorial board of over three dozen of international journals.
