Abstract

Shape‐memory ceramics offer promise for applications like actuation and energy damping, due to their unique properties of high specific strength, high ductility, light weight and inertness in harsh environments. To date, shape‐memory behavior in ceramics is limited to micro/submicro‐scale pillars and particles to circumvent the longstanding problem of transformation‐induced fracture which occurs readily in bulk polycrystalline specimens. The challenge, therefore, lies in the realization of shape‐memory properties in bulk ceramics, which requires careful design of three‐dimensional structures that locally mimic pillar structures. In this work, it is demonstrated that with a gradient‐controlled freeze‐casting approach, honeycomb‐like cellular structures can be fabricated with thin and directionally aligned walls to facilitate martensitic transformation under compression without fracture. With this approach, robust bulk shape‐memory ceramics have been demonstrated in a highly porous structure with strengths under compressive stresses of 25 MPa and strains up to 7.5%.
