摘要

Abstract

Nature has been inspiring material researchers to fabricate biomimetic functional devices for various applications

and shape-memory polymer materials (SMPMs) have received tremendous attention since the promising intelligent materials possess more advantages over others for the fabrication of biomimetic functional devices. As is well-known

SMPMs can be stimulated by heat

electricity

magnetism

solvent and light. From the viewpoint of practical applications

ultraviolet (UV)-visible (Vis)-near infrared (NIR) light-responsive SMPMs are undoubtedly more advantageous. However

up to now

UV-Vis-NIR light-deformable SMPMs by combining photothermal and photochemical effects are still rarely reported. Here we designed a UV-Vis-NIR light-deformable SMP composite film

via

incorporating a liquid crystal (LC) mixture and graphene oxide (GO) into a shape-memory polyurethane matrix. The elongated composite films exhibited interesting photomechanical bending deformations with different light-triggered mechanisms

(1) photochemically induced LC phase transition upon UV exposure

(2) photochemically and photothermally induced LC phase transition upon visible-light irradiation

(3) photothermally triggered LC phase transition and partial stress relaxation upon low-intensity NIR exposure. All the deformed objects could recover to their original shapes by high-intensity NIR irradiation. Moreover

the biomimetic circadian rhythms of acacia leaves and the biomimetic bending/spreading of fingers were successfully achieved

which could blaze a way in the field of biomimetic functional devices due to the excellent light-deformable and shape-memory properties of the SMP composite films.
