摘要
In this study,a zwitterionic polymer/liquid crystals composite film with programming shape-morphing behavior and humidityresponsive self-healing performance was prepared by blending a zwitterionic polymer and liquid crystalline azobenzene compound in solution,followed by film-forming in a mold without tedious or multistep synthetic route.The as-obtained zwitterionic polymer/liquid crystal composite film exhibited programming shape-morphing behavior under different stimuli.In this process,the temporary shape of the composite film was memorized after the removal of the stimuli.Such characteristics would fit the requirements of intelligence and energy-saving for stimuliresponsive shape-changing materials.Moreover,the composite film showed humidity-responsive self-healing performances under wet conditions at room temperature.In summary,the simple design and preparation route of the zwitterionic polymer/liquid crystal composite film with programming shape-morphing behavior and mild condition-responsive self-healing performance look promising for the fabrication and practical application of novel photo-driven devices and soft robotics.
