Abstract

ABSTRACT Poly(methyl methacrylate) is a significant transparent thermoplastic polymer. It is well known for the mechanical, thermal, chemical, and weathering resistance. Poly(methyl methacrylate) forms an important category of shape memory materials. This feature article offers state-of-the-art review on stimuli responsive poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposite. The fundamentals and characteristics of various types of shape memory poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposite were deliberated. Influence of nanocarbon (carbon nanotube, graphene) and inorganic nanoparticles (nanoclay, metal oxide) on the performance of stimuli responsive poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposites have been considered. Advancements in the application areas of shape memory poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposites toward technical fields were comprehended.
