Methods for fabricating adaptive composite materials and components using shape memory alloy (SMA) constituents were investigated using a variety of fabrication techniques, including mechanical rolling methods. Both SMA-polymer and SMA-metal composites were created, as well as new fabrication strategies for producing NiTi and CuAlNi shape memory alloy particles with refined size which still display shape memory and pseudoelasticity. The composite materials show promising fracture toughness behavior. The functionalization strategy we ...
