| A method for preparing a carbon nanotube/shape memory polymer (CNT/SMP) foam composite includes: performing a mixing process to mix a carbon nanotube (CNT) material, a shape memory polymer (SMP) material and a scaffolding material so as to obtain a CNT/SMP mixture which includes CNT/SMP nanocomposites and the scaffolding material; subjecting the CNT/SMP nanocomposites in the CNT/SMP mixture to a recrystallization process so as to obtain a recrystallized product in which the scaffolding material is trapped within recrystallized CNT/SMP nanocomposites; and after the recrystallization process, removing the scaffolding material from the recrystallized CNT/SMP nanocomposites. |
