The Functional Materials Lab is committed to the development of a distinctive category of metallic functional materials known as shape memory alloys (SMAs). Our research is centered on the exploration of TiNi-based, CuAl-based, and high-entropy SMAs to enhance their shape memory capabilities and stability. In pursuit of these objectives, we employ approaches such as alloy design, heat treatment, and control of microstructures. Our investigations involve the extensive application of material characterization techniques, encompassing thermal analyses, microstructural observations, temperature-dependent measurements of mechanical properties, and non-contact measurement methods, to unveil the underlying mechanisms of novel results.

If you share an interest in these topics, we extend a warm invitation for you to join us!
