Figure 2. Thermophysical and mechanical behavior of the nanolens array.

Figure 2

(a), Temperature versus time for the nanolens array with and without fullerenes. The nanostructure absorbs electromagnetic wave, which is as a result of the embedded fullerenes in the SMP. Such an increment in temperature is high enough to reach the transition temperature of SMPs. (b), Load versus displacement for the nanolens array with and without fullerenes. The results are obtained via the nanoindentation experiment. The fullerene reinforced nanostructure provides the enhanced load-displacement relation compared with the specimen without fullerenes.
