Oxidation-induced shape memory fiber and preparation method and application thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an oxidation-induced shape memory fiber comprising a tension-bearing core material and/or a tension-bearing core material coated with an antioxidative coating, and an oxidizable pressure-bearing coating. The oxidizable pressure-bearing coating is coated outside the tension-bearing core material and/or the tension-bearing core material coated with an antioxidative coating; the oxidizable pressure-bearing coating is in compressive stress state and/or the tension-bearing core material coated with an antioxidative coating and the oxidizable pressure-bearing coating are in tension-compression balance state. The disclosure also relates to preparation and application thereof, the preparation is: reserving anchoring end, exerting tension force on tension-bearing core material and/or tension-bearing core material coated with an antioxidative coating, followed by coating oxidizable pressure-bearing coating thereon. The oxidation-induced shape memory fiber is applicable to high temperature oxidation environment.
